Which college should I apply to for premed?

I was wondering what the best premed programs are and which ones I might be accepted into realistically.

Sounds like you’re becoming another believer in the myth that some schools have that “special touch” that lets them turn lead into gold, taking average students and turning them into stellar med school applicants. In fact there are many, many colleges that do a good job of preparing students for med school. Here’s what to look for; it’s from an excellent premed guide at Amherst that I suggest you read

What does elevate a student’s chances is to go to an institution (1) that energizes and challenges that particular student academically, while providing good teaching and academic support so the student can meet the challenge satisfactorily; and (2) that provides opportunities for accomplishment and leadership in extracurricular areas. Of course the student must take advantage of these educational and extracurricular opportunities - in the end it’s the student’s accomplishments that count, not the name of the institution.
