<p>Kathymom, for pre-med you want to stay at an affordable school as med school is expensive. I’ve also seen the best results from students who chose a school where their stats put them in the top 25% of students, but not so high that they are bored (not one of approx 3% with top stats, etc).</p>
<p>My high stat pre-med guy considered a bunch of schools. He eliminated many before applying for one reason or another, then ended up attending U Rochester. He wanted a research school that had a hospital on or near campus. He loves his choice and has no regrets. He just finished the summer working in two labs, one in the hospital and one on campus. The merit aid is nice too…</p>
<p>Let your guy find a school he likes that is affordable and fits his stats (in the top 25%). They are out there.</p>
