<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm accepted into UW-Madison, U of Toronto - st george, UCSD, and UIUC majoring Psychology, and still waiting for UMichigan and Carleton University in canada. </p>

<p>I kind of want to be a psychiatrist, so I'll go into pre-med. Is this a good choice given that I never learn physics before and only took one year of Biology 12? I have taken the AP chemistry.
Which school will better prepare me for med school? I know UCSD focuses a lot on science but UW is quite good too.
I'm really interested in Carleton's Neuroscience - Mental Health Honors program but the university ranking is VERY low, would it affect my chance of admission into med school?</p>

<p>Which university is better for pre med?
Does med school admission focus on my undergrad university and its ranking?
Would Carleton's program or UCSD/UW's pre-med courses be better for med school admission?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!!!</p>

<p>To answer your second question, NO, med schools could NOT care LESS about where you go for undergraduate pre-med. A 4.0 at San Francisco State University and a 30 MCAT is MUCH more preferable than a 3.0 at Harvard and 30 MCAT. </p>

<p>Go to the college that you will have FUN and ENJOY, because you will probably do well there. Good luck!</p>
