I am sure that I am going to become a doctor



You might be sure of that now, as a high school student, but most pre-meds hit some sort of obstacle (whether it be Organic Chemistry or a newfound love for [insert any other discipline here] that prompts them to switch majors) - the vast majority of self proclaimed/declared pre-med Freshmen do not make it into medical school.

With that being said, there is no ideal pre-med university. An ideal pre-med university is student-specific and is essentially just any university where the student him or herself can thrive; this is completely unrelated to the concept of “pre-med” as it pertains to the school as a whole.

The only way I can see there being an ideal pre-med undergrad is if you were interested in attending a school that had its own medical school and there was some agreement between the medical school and undergraduate school that impacted admissions or something. I cannot necessarily speak well about the subject, but I believe they’re called Early Assurance programs. This is a snippet I got off the web;



Early Assurance Programs
Some top medical schools offer an “early assurance” program whereby a potential student applies to medical school during her sophomore or junior year in college. Applicants are accepted based on their credentials and are offered a guaranteed spot at the medical school, provided that she maintain a certain level on a given set of criteria, such as a minimum GPA. Some schools that offer this option include: The Mount Sinai School of Medicine 1 Gustave L Levy Place New York, NY 10029-6500 212-659-6700 mountsinai.org Wake Forest University School of Medicine Medical Center Boulevard Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27157-1090 336-716-4264 wfubmc.edu Georgetown Medical School Medical Dental Building 3900 Reservoir Road NW Washington, DC 20057 202-687-1154 som.georgetown.edu
