What @collegemom3717 and the others have said about LACs being just fine for premed. Generally within the top 15 overall for MD acceptance rates are (in alpha order): Carlton, Davidson, Middlebury, Pomona, Swarthmore, Washington & Lee, and Williams. HOWEVER, that does not mean any of those are the best for a particular student - it’s the student, not their college that gets them into med school. As you’ll hear from others, pick the college that provides an environment where an individual believes they can thrive in and out of the classroom, and remember that the CW is that most students who begin college as premed don’t end up that way, and the majority who do apply don’t get in. As for Stony Brook, there was a Quora post from a current premed not too long ago who basically said while there are lots of premeds, there are also plenty of resources if you take the initiative to find and use them.
