I'm about to finish my 2nd semester in a local community college, I want to transfer in the fall of 2007, but I'm not sure where, can you please help me and tell me which are the best college/university for pre-medicine? I also would like to read some experiences of other pre-med students that are more advanced than me, like subjects, voluntary work, how hard is it, etc....

There are quite a few elite schools that have excellent programs for premed. Sometimes the university web sites brag about how well their students do. Like, at Duke something like 80+% of the premeds get into med school on their first try. But you are not going to get into one of those schools from from a community college. If you check with your counselors at the CC they can tell you what universities will allow you to transfer all your credits. So, you will probably wind up at your local good quality state university.

When you get there, you immediately go to the advisor for the premed students and he/she will explain to you what the requirements are for applying to med school. You will need to take all the pre-reqs, like biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics with calculus and calculus.

There are going to be a lot of kid who are premeds. Only a fraction of them are going to get into med school. So, you have to be totally dedicated to this dream or it isnt going to happen. You willhave to sacrifice your social life, and your time to study in order to get the top grades. If you do, you will have a fighting chance of getting into med school. But the pre req courses are hard, so be prepared for a tough time.
