NEED HELP: Best Pre-Med Programs?

<<<
best pre-med program would be one that turns undergraduates into the most compassionate, perceptive, skilled and motivated physicians and surgeons ever.

that would be quite the trick considering what the premed prereqs are…nothing that encourages compassion, skills, etc.

Anyway…there really isn’t such a thing as a “premed program” at 99.9% of undergrads. And even the couple of univs that have “premed programs” they’re not really anything more than some dept granting some sort of “pre-health” degree that isn’t going to look very good on a resume if med school never happens.

Being a premed student generally means taking:

2 semesters of Bio
2 semesters of Gen Chem
2 semesters of Ochem
2 semesters of Physics
1 semester of BioChem
Calc I and/or Stats
Psych and./or Sociology

As you can see…there is nothing “medical” about those classes and nothing unique about them. Your classmates will include a variety of Bio, Chem, Physics, Engineering and other premed students.

Talk to your parents about how much they’ll pay for undergrad.

What was your SAT score? M+CR?
