Haverford--Is it the Right Place for Pre-Med?

<p>Hello FAFSA Parent,</p>

<p>I’m an incoming freshman this fall, and I am also planning on attending medical school after I graduate. Based on research I’ve done on Haverford, it seems that Haverford is among the top colleges in not only the humanities, but also the sciences.</p>

<p>This will probably apply most directly to your situation: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/haverford-college/146705-pre-med-haverford.html?highlight=med[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/haverford-college/146705-pre-med-haverford.html?highlight=med&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>The Haverford Pre-Health Advising Guide for first and second years students ([Haverford</a> College: Pre-Health Advising](<a href=“http://www.haverford.edu/deans/prehealth/guide_students.php]Haverford”>http://www.haverford.edu/deans/prehealth/guide_students.php)) may be helpful in providing more information on the specifics of going through a pre-health/pre-med track at Haverford.</p>

<p>However, there are other threads on here that may be particularly useful to you in providing information on the sciences at Haverford (and there are many more with discussions about science sprinkled throughout):</p>

<p>I hope all goes well in the college application/admissions process for you and your son!</p>
