Good for Medicine?

Colleges & Universities Harvard University

<p>Is Harvard the best college to attend for medicine or is Johns Hopkins better? Same question for med. school, would you recommend Harvard or Johns Hopkins?</p>

<p>Well if you’re dead sure you want to study medicine, neither. You might want to consider a BA/MD program. Both schools want students to experience liberal arts rather than focusing on a science and then applying to med school. And their medical schools are great but that doesn’t mean undergrads can take full advantage of those resources.</p>

<p>so what colleges are good for premed then?</p>

4

<p>bump, I would like to know also.</p>

5

<p>a school that has some grade inflation and excellent opportunities to help you get into med school.<br>
Harvard would be a good choice for that</p>

<p>typically avoid the public schools which care squawt on what happens to you</p>

<p>Holy Cross (45 minutes west of Boston) has an excellent record in preparing students for the health professions. Graduates are admitted to medical school at a rate twice the national average, and more than 10 percent of Holy Cross alumni are currently practicing medicine.

<p>Brown has a premed program (4+4) and Northwestern has a combined (7 years) pre-med program. Also Caltech has a joint program with UC San Diego too. You will need to apply this at time time of the application. UCSD has a very strong program too and you apply to the program after the admission.</p>
