<p>However you look at it, at the end the best pre-med school is the one that fits you personally the best with all your current and potential goals, Medical school and others and your personal characteristics. You will be there for 4 years of your life. If you are miserable at the place, you will not produce results required. You can prepare for MCAT at any UG. One important factor is a great pre-med advisory/commitee. Diverse student body is great as long as you personally seeking to be surrounded by diverse crowd. I do not mean though racial/socioeconomical diversity. I mean people with the different backgrounds, different sets of mind, different intellectual levels, various wide interests.<br>
Frankly, my D. did not consider any of the points from the other posts here. Never crossed her mind grade deflation, preparation fro the MCAT or even the back up plan. She choose her UG asking herself if she is going to be happy there. It has worked because she was ready to work as hard as needed to get As in every class. She had very simple goal that she personally could control.</p>
