Hi! From what I’ve garnered here, it seems like med schools are mostly concerned with undergraduate grades (and less about actual majors or EC’s unless they’re outstanding) As a Jersey resident, Rutgers seems like the natural choice for pre-med, but others say Temple is also a good choice. In terms of grade inflation, prestige, course variety, and research/volunteer opportunities which university is best?

ALSO if there are any other universities/liberal arts colleges that can match or even beat either school in terms of pre-med prep, please feel free to name them!

Thanks so much!
