<p>@ MiamiDAP, No, I don’t have a bad pre-med advisory board.

There seems to be enough anecdotes there to refute your unfounded claim that it is not the case at most schools. Once again, just because it is “great” at your D’s state univ. does not mean it applies to every college in the nation.</p>
<p>@bluebayou - Not directing “angst,” (PS not the word you were looking for) at anyone or anything. If you mean trying to correct MiamiDAP’s extremely annoying habits of boasting about her kid/etc, well then sure.
??? Was this serious? I’m not spending $50k/yr for “poor advising.” Lol… It’s called spending $50k/yr for solid academics, opportunities, etc. Not advising. I won’t get over how absurd that statement was probably for a while - thanks for the laughs!
Sure, our pre-med advising at Tufts is reputable - as plenty of people treat it as the golden rule of thumb. But for me at least, it has fallen short of my expectations and did not tell me anything I didn’t already know. And I don’t like their style of advising - PM if you want specifics.</p>
<p>In my opinion, anything and everything you need to know about the process can be found either on CC or SDN. For difficulties of school-specific classes/opportunities/etc, those questions can be directed at those in the classes ahead of you.</p>
