<p>One thing I have to give to my school is that it really is an excellent school if you’re legitamately serious about being a pre-med. It also has a >80% placement rate in Medical School. That said, McMcaster Health Sciences would be an equally excellent choice, that I would most definitely recommend over Penn if saving money as at all a concern.</p>
<p>PS: Penn is fairly challenging. Ignore those who talk about grade inflation. That exists at Yale and Brown. Penn is a fairly big undergrad school with tons of pre-meds. And even the non-premed classes are pretty difficult since your competition are the smartest and generally the most hard-working students from around the world.</p>
