<p>@classicgirll: I went to Amherst, so, talking to my friends…
I wouldn’t judge a school by the number of people who apply to Med school. That is a horrible metric on which to make a decision. You getting into med-school won’t have to do with how many people from that school decide to be pre-med and apply. It’s really going to be how well you do in your pre-med classes, your MCAT score, and your research experience. And I know at Amherst, you can easily get to do biology or other science research if you want to, which can help in your application.</p>
<p>But more specifically, I am good friends with someone from my year who is going to Harvard for MD/PhD. I know two who are going to Baylor, which is also a top med school.<br>
One who only applied after graduation, is going to go to an MD/PhD at either UPenn or Columbia. Two are going to NYU, which is also a decent med-school. You also have to consider the fact that some people take a year off after graduating before applying to med school, which is probably the sanest idea I’ve ever heard.</p>
<p>So I’m not sure where you are getting your information, but I know who went where of my friends. Also, I will stress again, you really really should not choose a school based on the number of people who end up applying to Med School. Perhaps, on where those who apply end up going, but again that has to do with their own grades and personal backgrounds.<br>
Have you made a decision yet as to where to go to school? Where else are you considering?</p>
