Colgate has a reputation as a frat heavy, heavy drinking college. Check it out if this would matter to you. It also has a reputation as a terrific LAC.

Whatever you do, do not fixate on a single medical school. The overwhelming majority of qualified applicants to Stanford medical school are denied. Students with top grades, top MCAT’s, and outstanding recommendations are USUALLY denied. Admission is far more competitive than getting into Stanford undergrad. So… if you get excellent grades, MCAT’s, recommendations, and experience as an undergrad, then you have a good chance of getting into an excellent medical school. Stanford is an excellent medical school. However, anyone applying to Stanford med is taking a long shot.
