<p>see post #4 for examples of how it can be manipulated: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pre-med-topics/1484178-if-you-high-school-please-read-before-posting.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pre-med-topics/1484178-if-you-high-school-please-read-before-posting.html</a></p>
<p>The best way to look at the resources is really only to talk to current students and recent alumni (does northeastern have a section on CC the way each ivy does?). While in theory this number would be helpful, more concrete things you can find out from current students that are helpful are things like:</p>
<p>How easy is it to schedule time with the pre-med advisor?
Does the pre-med office offer sessions and lectures or is it only a resource for applicants?
How involved is the pre-med office in your application (i.e. do they walk you through everything, just point you to the website, etc?)?
How easy is it to find research positions at the school?
How easy is it to find clinical volunteering positions in the area around the school?</p>
<p>Those are really the only “resources” the school can vary on. All schools teach the pre-med classes so you have to focus on how much the school will help you/what exists there (especially if opportunities are limited at home/you want to be able to do pre-med stuff other than just during the summers).</p>
