<p>Hi,everybody.
Possibly pre-med. But still a chance in business.
International student. (LACs are almost never heard here!)
Do not care about weather.</p>
<p>Both are great schools, so really didn’t how to choose.
It it is more like a typical U vs LAC question now.
For me, I guess smaller class size and everything is good for my acedemic but it might not be like the college experience I’ve imagined. Furthermore, LACs are never heared here.</p>
<p>Please tell what you think thanks!</p>
<p>As an INTERNATIONAL PRE-MED you absolutely do need to ask the pre-med advisors on each campus about their med school placement for international students. Med school admissions is difficult enough, but getting in as an international student is many times more challenging. You may be better off to pursue your initial medical studies in your home country and then come here for some of your clinical rotations after completing those studies.</p>
<p>Last year 90% of Colby graduates who applied to med school were accepted. Strong pre-med program.</p>
<p>are you hoping to work in the US after graduation? If so, then the LAC/Colby brand is fine–but if you’re hoping to carry your degree back home, you may want to go to the school that is more known outside of the US. </p>
<p>ANother thing to consider- Colby is very small. You’ll have a tight knit community—which is great, as long as you like that community!</p>
<p>Brody66, in this case, it doesn’t matter how many US citizen/permanent residents from Colby got into med school last year. What matters is the placement for international applicants. Not all medical schools in the US even admit international applicants! It is much harder for international students, even the ones with good grades and good MCATs to find admission to med school here. In addition, international students cannot borrow the kind of money that US applicants can to help pay for med school. Even if they are admitted, they may not have any way to pay for that education.</p>
