USC vs. UT vs. Middlebury vs. Wash U vs. Northwestern

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>So I've narrowed it down to FIVE schools, and I only have a couple days to decide. To put things in context, I'm very interested in the humanities and pursuing a single or double major in that area. Meanwhile, I would like to take pre-med courses and eventually go on to a top medical school. Assuming that I work hard at all five, what college do you think would be best for me?</p>

<p>For USC, I've received the Trustee (full) Scholarship. Furthermore, I've been accepted into their Thematic Option Honors Program. Having that individualized attention is definitely important to me, but I haven't heard of any pre-med students going on to top medical schools.</p>

<p>I've also been accepted to UT Plan II Honors Program, and since I live in Texas, tuition would be relatively cheap. I also know a handful of people who went on to Harvard Med who were in this program.</p>

<p>I really, really like Middlebury, but I'm not sure how it does in terms of med school acceptance. Beautiful campus, though, and Bread Loaf would help me cultivate my writing skills.</p>

<p>Wash U was awesome, great pre-med, but I don't know... It's usually compared to Northwestern, and I've been accepted to the Medill School of Journalism there, which is very prestigious and would give me lots of opportunities for internships, etc., and pre-med at NU would give me great experience before going to med school.</p>

<p>Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! The sooner, the better! :)</p>

<p>undergrad when going to med school means almost nothing unless u go to like harvard or something. go to whereever is cheapest/you think u will get the best grades/you will have the most fun.</p>

<p>Here’s a link to to the list of orthopaedic residents at Harvard Medical School. You can see where each went to undergrad and grad school. Most of the schools you’re looking at are represented.</p>
