<p>I'm an incoming Freshman to UW planning to take humanities but I want to become a neurosurgeon in the future.</p>
<p>UW was one of my top choices, mostly because of it's location, and offered me the best financial aide, so even though I got into more prestigious schools like BU and Northwestern/eastern I decided to go there.</p>
<p>But now I'm wondering if going to UW will negatively affect my chances of getting into a good med school later, to the point where half the time I am already thinking of transfering and the other half I'm still really excited to go.</p>
<p>So any thoughts?</p>
<p>that’s the problem
I’m not sure if where I want to go now(UW) will be as helpfull as I want it to be to where I currently wanna go in four years</p>
<p>Blegh
I hate summer semi-meltdowns</p>
<p>Just go wherever you will be the happiest as long as they give some sort of premed advising, and from what I can see on their website they have it. [Pre-Health</a> Advising at the UW - Medicine](<a href=“http://www.washington.edu/uaa/gateway/advising/prehealth/fields/premed.php]Pre-Health”>http://www.washington.edu/uaa/gateway/advising/prehealth/fields/premed.php)</p>
<p>u can get into med school from any undergraduate college u attend. just because u got to a more prestigious undergrad doesn’t mean you’ll have a better shot of acceptance. get a gpa of ~3.5 or better and ~30 or better on the mcat and do some kind of extracurriculars to make u stand out. find research opportunities on campus, volunteer at a hospital or nursing home, join the humane society, whatever.</p>
<p>Since you’re already there, it is the best program in the country for you.</p>
<p>UW has great science programs so you will have fine prep for any med school. I assume you mean Seattle although the same would be said for Madison.</p>
<p>^^^From the OPs other post, it is UDub.</p>
