Where Do I Stand in the Brown/Northwestern ED Pool?

It’s still what we’d call a top-heavy list and you still haven’t presented a picture of a kid who has the backround in stem that others will bring. Classroom, perhaps, but not the range of health related or healthcare delivery activities.

It’s true that some med schools take a high number of applicants from their own colleges. But that leaves the large percentage that come from other colleges. The weed-out process in premed classes can be brutal and “top performance,” unlike in Alberta, does not start at an 80 grade. The sage advice is to attend a college where one can rise to the top, not assume a prestige name is some key. That means less competitive, once there, than the schools you name.
