<p>am noticing a lot of them have “pre-med” programs; that is, sets of classes they feel will help to prepare you. That’s pretty much what i meant by pre-med</p>
<p>Prepare you for what???</p>
<p>Med schools require certain basic classes. They don’t require “frills” classes which is what you seem to be talking about.</p>
<p>My son’s undergrad offers some pre-med extra classes, but that’s what they are…just extra classes…for example: Medical Spanish, Medical Ethics, and so forth. The school also offers a 1 credit class that pre-meds can take that helps them determine where they should apply, write their essays/personal statement/etc. </p>
<p>Frankly, I would hesitate to pick an undergrad that is loaded with pre-meds that have similar or higher stats as you do. A’s are limited in the pre-med pre-reqs, and therefore you’re going to have too many classmates all gunning for those limited number of A’s. </p>
<p>As long as a school has a good pre-med advising dept and writes Committee Letters, the school should be fine for pre-med.</p>
