What are the best pre-med schools?

Answer 1

"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.

Answer 2

Hello. As a pre-med student myself, I'm familiar with this area as I've spent many months debating the same thing. Now I won't sit here and tell you that there is no difference between ivy league and middle of nowhere state, but when you are pre-med, 4 things matter most: 1 - MCAT 2 - science GPA 3 - overall GPA 4 - extra activities/recommendations etc. etc. where you obtain your BS degree has very very little to almost no impact on your chances to get into medical school. Certain programs however do tend to take more instate kids...so if you're looking to go instate for medical school, maybe staying in state is a better option. But all in all, a 3.7 is a 3.7. go to where YOU ARE HAPPY AND DOING WHAT YOU LOVE. and just do well in your pre-med/science courses (and overall too), and that is what gives you the best chance to get into med school, not the name that stamps your degree. Med school admissions would rather see a successful well rounded student from a decent university, then a struggling student from stanford.

Answer 4

Harvard, Stanford, John Hopkins, and Duke are some of the top rated Pre-med colleges. It's really hard to say which Pre-med college is best because it's a pretty subjective topic. If you want the best in terms of the number of graduates matriculating into Med school, then UCLA, UC- Berkley, and University of Michigan are the best. So, the ranking really depends on how you define "best". It all depends on what you want in a school.

For colleges and universities within the United States and its territories, you can obtain this information by clicking on the related links section (College Board) indicated at the bottom of this answer section and using the College Board site College MatchMaker search engine. You can research colleges and universities by name, or by programs of study, or by geographical location, size, or combinations of part or all of them.

WARNING!!!

When choosing a college or university within the United States, make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Below I have listed the six regional accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. I am disclosing the below so you do not become a victim of educational scams, institutions that are nothing more than diploma mills, or that do not have the best accreditation, and are eager to take your money for a degree that is worthless. Make sure the institution is accredited by one of following responsible agencies.

Regional Accreditation Agencies

Answer 6

First, there is no such thing as a degree in pre-med. 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.

While many individuals who pursue a career as a physician major in biology at the undergraduate level, many others come from a variety of other educational backgrounds. You should meet with a career counselor at the college or university you attend for what options exist for you. The important issue is acquiring the appropriate prerequisites required for medical school. The student should have a strong background in the following areas.

• Biology (cell biology, biology of the organism)
• Chemistry (inorganic, organic)
• Physics
• Communication (written and oral)
• Higher level math's
• Computer literacy
• Development of good critical thinking skills.
