University of Washington
Remember that a pre-med program is just that; a program. It is not a major. It is a curriculum layout or sometimes referred to as a tract, which prepares students who intend to seek admission to medical schools. It includes activities such as prerequisite coursework, clinical experience, volunteer activities, and research. This tract is embedded into your primary program of study (major), which can be almost anything. Most universities are able to offer the appropriate prerequisite coursework required by medical schools. That being said, the University of Washington has the preferred regional accreditation by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges. Therefore the coursework and degree you complete through this institution of higher learning will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers.

What are the top ranked premed schools?
"Premed" is not usually a major and few colleges have an official premed program; however there are colleges that are said to be strong in "premed" due to their effectiveness at sending their students into medical schools. These colleges tend to have a supportive network for premedical students consisting of comprehensive advising, academic mentoring, and numerous opportunities in extracurriculars and academics (ie. research). Colleges renowned for such high-quality premedical programs include University of Pennsylvania, Washington University in St. Louis, Duke University, Rice University, and Johns Hopkins University. Several of the Ivy League institutions have very strong programs as well. Of course, factors that may affect some of an university's medical school matriculation statistics include policies that allow only the stronger premedical students to apply for medical school; difficult introductory science courses that "weed out" a bulk of students; and the fact that the student body at upper-ranked universities generally tend to be of a high caliber and possess qualities that propel them through the difficult premedical track. Interestingly, most of the aforementioned programs have competitive US News Rankings and particularly strong biology departments as well. When choosing a premedical school, consider the school's resources as well as your personal abilities compared with the intensity of the school pool; choose the school where you will most strive as a student.

So, the ranking really depends on how you define "best".

If you take the prerequisite premed courses (calculus, bio, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, all the labs), get good grades in them and a good overall GPA, take the MCAT and get a decent score, your chances are as good as anyone else's. But you have to go through the same premed requirements as everyone else, unfortunately the curriculum for nursing school/programs does not overlap with the pre-med curriculum, so you'll have to work on fulfilling those on your own (may require extending your time at a University or doing a post-bacc program).
