I am thinking about Biology major or somethin related to that field and doing Pre-med, also I want to double major or minor in finance just in case med school doesn’t work out. Here are the schools that I am considering, which would you say “BEST” suites me?
Cornell, Boston University, NYU, Emory, University of Michigan, University of Chicago, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins, Tufts, Brandeis and Washington University in St. Louis
Yeah I know this is alot, but hey I have a broad spectrum, rather than closing myself in! Please Respond!
<p>Emory has a very good pre-med biology track. Its business school is also very well regarded and has recently expanded into a new building.</p>
<p>anyone else??????????????????????/</p>
<p>For some reason WUSTL and Emory speak to me.</p>
<p>Can someone please rank these schools from best to worst please...I really need to know!</p>
<p>Well, if you're hoping to major/minor in finance, rule out johns Hopkins, U of Chicago, and Carnegie Mellon. None of the three have undergraduate business schools so your only option would be economics, not finance.</p>
<p>That said, all of the schools on your list have excellent biology programs and any of them will get you into medical school if you work hard, so anyone attempting to rank them from "best to worst" will be splitting hairs. I'd suggest, therefore, that you consider other factors in evaluating these schools (size, location, cost, social atmosphere, etc.) in order to determine which "fit" you best.</p>
<p>ok, it doesn't matter whether the school has finance or economics, but serious most important of of all which school would be best for a pre-med biology major? From best to worst.</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon has an undergraduate business school (Tepper).</p>
<p>well what do you want in a school? JHU is going to be cutthroat pre-med competetion, UChi is going to be a far more intellecutal for intellectualism's sake school. Cornell is going to be leaning more towards JHU than anything else. BU is not going to be overly collaborative with the campus spread out everywhere and with it's red tape issues. Same deal with NYU. Emory is your only school in the southeast. Atlanta is a far different city than Boston or New York. UMich offers you great oppurutunilties, but it's huge beyond reckoning, which gives a different experience in itself. Northwestern is the only one in the Big Ten. Vanderbilt is known for its med school but isn't as good in undergrad as it's reputation. Tufts is great for pre-med, but it's an expensive area to live. CMU is a great school, but unlike the others isn't known for it's pre-med. WUSTL is in a great spot for pre-meds with lots of places for EC's related to the field,</p>
<p>so Now that leaves me with: COrnell, Hopkins, Washington University in St. Louis, NYU, Boston U, U of michigan, Northwestern, Emory, Tufts, Brandeis, and U of Chicago.</p>
<p>Now, will someone please rank these schools from best to worst regarding Pre-med academics, and the amount of people who actually end up going to better med-schools. Basically can someone rank these schools based strictly on pre-med academics for a biology or related major?</p>
<p>anyone????????????????????????</p>
<p>zillions of ? marks are kind of obnoxious, and it doesn't look like you're really responding to any comments besides "anyone (insert zillions of ? marks). yep. i'm sure that there are online rankings somewhere too</p>
<p>You need to pick your college based on what you want in a college. Your posts tend me make me think that you want somebody else to make the decision for you. If you just want an opinion on how prestigious the colleges are, then look at the USNWR rankings, but you should be warned, that the colleges jump around a lot on the list from year to year. (Which, of course, means that the rankings are suspect to begin with.)</p>
<p>In "Inside the Top Colleges" by Greene that was published in 1999, 45.9% of the students at Hopkins said that the behavior of Classmates is cutthroat. UChicago was 20.5%, UPenn was 20.4%, Cornell was 20.1% and Northwestern was 5.9%. None of your other colleges were in the survey. For pre-med, things can be cutthroat, but not everywhere.</p>
<p>You definitely don't want to pick your college entirely on the pre-med ranking. As a chemistry major at Brandeis, I know a million people who start out pre-med and then become English majors. They found the classes way too difficult and decided to chose another path. Completely fine. The ones who were happiest were those who decided to come to Brandeis, not just because it prepares you well for med school, but because they genuinely liked the school and is excelled in other areas that they were interested in. Furthermore, I feel like any of those schools will be great in preparing you for med school. However, they will all do it in completely different ways. Do you want to go to a school with 500 person organic lectures? Or do you want one that will offer smaller classes? Do you want one with a specific pre-med major? Or do you want one that will allow you to major in music and just take a few core classes that will prepare you for your future medical career? These are probably way more important things to look at than the bare-bones rankings.</p>
<p>ok ok... no one is going to rank them!</p>
<p>This really is pretty amazing. Somebody put up a list of colleges, and nobody ranked them. Typically on CC, ranking colleges is a knee jerk reaction for a lot of people. :)</p>
<p>WashU has respectable business and pre-med programs...look into it.</p>
<p>ok can someone seriously rank these schools in your opinion seriously!</p>
<p>Fine... </p>
<p>Hopkins, Cornell, Michigan, Chicago, Emory, WUSTL, Northwestern, Tufts, Brandeis, NYU.</p>
