Which school for premed?

<p>How successful you are in applying to med school depends on what you do in college and not some magic the college has with regards to preparing students for med school. All the colleges you list can prepare students for med school. And at all those colleges there are going to be lots of students that start out with the idea “I want to be a doctor” and yet end up doing something else. The difference is what you do, not what the school does. </p>

<p>There is an excellent online handbook at Amherst I recommend you read to get an understanding of the process and what really matters

I also always ask kids that say they want to be doctors, why an M.D? Not that I know it is wrong for you, it may be the right fit, but have you actually looked into the medical field and considered the alternatives? From the day you start college it will be 11-15 years before you are a practicing doctor, depending on what field you go into. Doctors are not the only ones in the health field that help people. Physical therapists, radiology techs, nurses, speech pathologists, to name but just a few. Before you go heavily into debt and commit so many years I suggest you explore the alternatives. </p>
