Good Pre-Med/Pre-Dental Schools

queenskillers · 10-18-2004, 08:23 PM

im interested in applying to good pre-dental schools that have good placement rates(majors like biology and chemistry)....however im not talking about schools like john hopkins and the likes.....im talking about schools more like boston university, nyu, suny binghamton and the likes in terms of admissions selectivity....does anyone have any suggestions of good predental schools that arent crazy hard to get into?

Northeastern. NEU has the #1 rated internship program. Students can intern at the world renowed Longwood Medical area which only a few blocks from campus. The Area includes the Harvard Medical and Dental Schools. Other schools to consider: Tufts,BU, and UConn.

Honestly it makes ZERO difference. Go to wherever you get the highest GPA.

ur right....dental schools do only care about the high gpa....in that case, where is there grade inflation (and im not talking about ivy league schools because i cant get into them)? i heard bu had grade deflation which might be a bad option? what elite privates are known for inflation? (espec in science)

If you're not limiting yourself to the east coast, check into University of the Pacific (Stockton CA)

UC Davis has a good biology program.

University of Miami is supposedly known for their pre-med pre-dental program. It looks on par with BU regarding admission criteria.

im looking for strictly east coast schools........hows boston college and nyu in terms of predental (bio/chem)......or is boston university better? but is there grade deflation here? and if there is....do u kno ne good privates with grade inflation?
