Getting in to Med School

All US med schools are “well known”. And no, they don’t much care where you go for undergrad. But they do prefer a liberal arts majors over what is considered a “vocational” major, such as business.

The odds of a top med school are near zero, but then they are for most everyone else as well.

Since you have several Catholic colleges on your list, might as well add BC. But if you are serious about transferring, take as many traditional liberal arts courses as you can at Bentley – English, history, foreign language and econ. That way you can demonstrate strength in those disciplines since you will be applying to transfer into Arts and Sciences. (A&S adcoms won’t be too impressed with an ‘A’ in Marketing, particularly since such courses are offered in the B-school.) Moreover, taking liberal arts courses that can transfer will help you graduate in four years.
