Thanks everyone, really greatly appreciate it. mikemac your first posting is very informative and we will add that to our question list. As for being a doctor, I told him he had to pass the dead body, blood and surgery tests before I would go along with this, which he did last summer, in addition to hearing lectures (from doctors!) about what a terrible profession it is these days. He did an internship in the fall at the local hospital. So we only picked colleges that seemed good for pre-med (some had cut-throat weeding classes, some didn’t even have spaces for freshman chemistry!)
mominwashington I did not know that about Colby and Tufts, thanks.
apple23 - The Rochester program is extraordinarily difficult to qualify for.
oldlaw thanks, size and location not factors.
