This post is from a long time ago however, Northeastern is an incredible school and their pre-med majors within their programs and divisions are extremely challenging. BU has a great pre-med program as well. Boston is fortunate to have world leading education institutions, research/lab facilities and hospitals to which is a great opportunity for any student aspiring to be in the medical field. Boston holds residence to world renowned hospitals such as MGH, Beth Israel, Childrens, Dana Farber, Mass Eye and Ear Infirmary, Joslin Diabetes etc. to which they work closely with Boston College, Northeastern, Boston University, MIT Tufts and Harvard, providing amazing CO-OP and intern opportunities. No school is a poor choice. Northeastern’s CO-OP program holds high prestige and is a great opportunity for any pre-med student. One must keep in mind that because Boston holds such a laudable reputation within the medical industry, it is extremely competitive and intense. As one stated above, it is how one applies him or herself and taking advantage of extra curricular activities and societies. Apply yourself and don’t become discouraged. If you don’t graduate with satisfactory grades required to apply for med school at least you graduated from an institution in the best part of the country and can explore the medical field in a different capacity.
