Bates and Colby are under 2.5 hours from Boston, Bowdoin is under 3. These are not rural or remote in the sense some colleges are, out in the woods or farmlands, no more than Williams, Amherst are. Middlebury is 3.5 hours and rarely do folks say that affects post college placement opps, All these top 25 colleges, across the country, have fine records for their graduates.
OP can cross the med school interview bridge when he comes to it. Speculation now isn’t a way to pick the best college opp.
