A penny for your advice

Shad Faraz: You should look at the medical school board here on CC. There will be information on how to track the success of pre-med programs in placing students into medical schools as well as lots of posts that point out that one doesn’t have to major in science to get into medical school - one can major in almost anything so long as one has excellent grades in the subjects that medical schools require.

So in choosing colleges to apply to, you may be shifting the basis on which your decision is made.

In addition, I suggest that in the end, you may decide to do something other than medical school, or perhaps not be admitted to a medical school, so you should choose your college applications also on the basis of the schools’ generally good programs.
