UPenn vs Georgetown Pre-Med

Keep in mind that your interests may change in college. Only about half of those taking the MCAT apply to medical school, and many pre-meds drop out long before that. I’d estimate that no more than about 10% of (pre-)freshman pre-meds actually wind up in medical school. Careers like medicine and law are obvious choices while in high school, but students are exposed to a far greater variety of academic disciplines and career options in college.

With that in mind, be sure to pick the college you like best – regardless of whether you’re pre-med.
