<p>This is actually my dilemma right now. I’m in my 2nd semester at Virginia Tech (Sophomore class standing).</p>
<p>I’m currently an engineering major who is transferring to biology. I was about to post a question related to this topic when I saw your post. What luck, huh?</p>
<p>I’m trying to decide whether to do Biology and Pre-Med at Virginia Tech or at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, TN. Both schools have affiliated medical schools:</p>
<p>VT has the new VTC.
ETSU has Quillen.</p>
<p>Both medical schools have around the same admission statistics, except VTC is more research based. I read a statistic that it is 1 of 3 research based medical schools. Another one is Harvard Med, so I’m really heavily looking at VTC as an admission choice.</p>
<p>So what do you guys think? Do you think VT is a good choice for a Biology - Pre-Med concentration or should I transfer to ETSU?</p>
<p>Edit:</p>
<p>By the way, do all medical schools have 2.5% acceptance rates?</p>
<p>VTC accepted 42 students out of 1654 applicants.
The mean MCAT score was a 33. O_O
One student scored a 42/45. Prob. the guy from Harvard.</p>
