<p>srinaldi, your son should heed bigred’s advice. Since he is smart and accomplished he will most likely end up at a college with rigorous academics. ALL colleges with rigorous academics send students to medical school. Some more than others, of course, but the determining factor is how well the student does in the environment he chooses and this includes recommendations from professors as well as his grades and scores.</p>

<p>I’d suggest that your son think more about the environment and learning style that he most wants in a college. He should consider the basics like size, location and intangibles like personality and ambience. Then come up with a short list that includes different degrees of selectivity in admissions. </p>

<p>After he’s done this he can begin to research the pre-med programs at the individual schools he interested in. How’s their counseling? How about research and interning opportunities? Their track record for getting their students into medical school?</p>

<p>Good luck and let us know how he does.</p>
