<p>I am either going to UVA or W&M next year for undergrad. I am planning on majoring in pre-med,and considering the competition for medical school acceptance, I wanted to know other's opinions on which school will give me a better chance to be admitted into a medical school in the future. Provided, of course, I take care of business.</p>
<p>Also <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pre-med-topics/214382-coursework.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pre-med-topics/214382-coursework.html</a> and <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pre-med-topics/214387-what-should-premed-major.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pre-med-topics/214387-what-should-premed-major.html</a></p>
<p>As a native Virginian, both are excellent schools. Both have beautiful campuses. UVA is much larger, but ultimately, as always, you should go to a school where you would be most comfortable and happy at.</p>
<p>I think the advising at a smaller school like W&M might be better in the long run, but UVA is an awesome school.</p>
<p>Stick around to see what other people think.</p>
<p>Another question I have of the two schools in question is the grading. Which school, if either, is harsher/rougher on the student when it comes to grading. Thanks.</p>
<p>skyace, since nobody has responded and you are a noob to CC , this part of CC is a generic pre-med board. I think you will get far more specific answers from the UVA or W+M specific boards.</p>
<p>On the left side of your screen, under the heading Top Forums, click on "Colleges". Good luck.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help. I'll be sure to check that out.</p>
<p>I hear that WM has grade deflation. but who knows right? I'm a premed at uva, in the premed classes here the curve is generally so the average is a B/B-.</p>

That seems artificially high.</p>
