<p>for premed</p>
<p>Choose based on fit as these schools are very different.</p>
<p>The first consideration, particularly for premeds is cost of attendance.</p>
<p>The second consideration is “plan B”. the fact is, many students who enter college as premeds end up changing career objectives and majors while in college. If you were to change your major/career obectives, which university matches up better with your alternative options?</p>
<p>The third consideration is premed opportunities. Michigan has top medical facilities (top 10 Hospital in the nation, ex-Pfizer research HQ etc…) for practical internships and research opportunities. Wake Forest is solid here too, but not quite as impressive as Michigan. </p>
<p>Fourth consideration is affiliation to their own Medical School. Michigan has a top 10 Medical School which enrolls approximately 50 Michigan undergrads annually. There is no doubt that qualified Michigan undergrads have a leg up on the competition when it comes to getting into the University of Michigan Medical school. </p>
<p>Assuming cost of attendance is not an issue, I would look at all of the above as well as fit, although most people would find it quite easy to fit in at both schools.</p>
<p>I could not agree more with this statement:</p>
<p>“The second consideration is “plan B”. the fact is, many students who enter college as premeds end up changing career objectives and majors while in college. If you were to change your major/career obectives, which university matches up better with your alternative options?”</p>
<p>Everyone and their brother is pre-med coming out of high school and it lasts all the way to the organic chem midterm. Then suddenly economics or business or psychology or something else seems much better. Please keep in mind that you quite possibly might be one of the students who needs to go with plan b and make sure your university has a wide variety of options for plan b.</p>
