<p>Hi, I will be applying to college this fall...I was wondering which undergrad schools have the best pre med programs that will actually get you into Med school, and which schools have the highest acceptance rate to med school?</p>
<p>There’s no way to tell. Some schools will have 100% admissions rates, but that’s because the school decides ahead of time which students get the letters of recommendation to medical school. That might only be the 25 best at a small LAC like Muhlenberg. You don’t pick a u/g education based on admissions to medical school. Students change their majors 1 or 2 times during u/g. You go. You do the best you can. There’s no gaming the system.</p>
<p>A better question would be what schools can I afford to attend? Ask if you need help with this one.</p>
<p>Next best question: can I come up with a realistic list or will mine too be filled with nothing but ivies and near-ivies that are a longshot for everyone? Demonstrate that you understand that when Stanford has a 5% admit rate you have some idea what that means for your chances.</p>
<p>Do not ask which schools have the best science programs, because it doesn’t matter when you apply to med school. They’re not going to care about your alma mater or your major as much as your GPA. </p>
<p>You want to game the system? Go to a school that doesn’t have grade deflation and major in something where you can get a high GPA, research experience, good letters of rec, and good prep for the MCAT.</p>
<p>Sorry, but I’m grouchy tonight 
</p>
<p>Actually, that last part is probably good advice.<br>
Non-honors at a top public with a ton of pre-meds where they don’t provide med school guidance but do curve science classes or elite privates where they also curve science classes (and also have a ton of pre-meds) are probably the worst places to go. The best would probably be Harvard (but not Stanford) or honors college at a non-elite public where they provide the honors kids lots of research opportunities and med school advising. @MiamiDAP said all the honors kids at Miami(OH) his daughter’s year who applied got in to med school.</p>
<p>That’s if you are 100% set on a health career, however (med school or some other health school or bust) and would not consider other careers in your 4 years at college (unlikely for most 17/18 year-olds). Obviously, other schools may be better for other goals. </p>
