<p>Classygirl - I’ve been on this forum for about two years and frankly have never seen a word about Iowa vs. any Florida schools. Not saying you won’t get responses, I just wouldn’t hold my breath. </p>
<p>Iowa does have a good rep for medical and medical-related sciences. The Carver School of Medicine is well-respected and the hospital is one of the largest teaching hospitals in the country. Med school faculty frequently teach in other, related programs such as biomedical engineering. Is it better than the FL schools? No idea.</p>
<p>Honors - here are details on admissions to the program. I’ve written a fair amount about it on this forum in other threads. I really like it. My son is a first year at Iowa.</p>
