<p>It’s not the school that makes the pre-med, it’s the student herself–her drive to succeed, her willingness to jump thru the relevant hoops (research, community service, medical volunteering, physician shadowing, leadership roles, etc) and her dedication and passion for medicine. Finding that passion is important. Many high school students have this idealized image of what a career in medicine is like; the reality of same is quite different.</p>
<p>Any school can be a good pre med school. Medical schools accept students from places you never even heard of every year.</p>
<p>Please don’t get so focussed on finding the ‘perfect’ pre med school that you lose sight of what’s important in life and what’s important in choosing a college.
