what are the top pre-med universities in the US?

Question

seriously, no bs answers!

Answer 1

The same schools that are the most prestigious for all graduate work are the ones that are prestigious for pre-med. THat is, the Ivies, Duke, Stanford, etc.

Many schools publish some statitstic about how many of their graduates enter medical school. You have to understand that these statistics are seriously warped. For instance, if 500 kids start college as pre-med majors at state u. and then 400 of them change majors because they couldn't hack the courses, then only 60 of them apply to med school and 50 get in, they don't count that as 50/500 = 10% admission, they count it as 50 out of 60 = 83% admission. So the stats don;t mean anything unless you know how they were calculated.
Top schools with serious pre-med programs put 75% or more of the kids who are premed majors into med school.

This is hardly a surprise, since the kids who are admitted to these elite schools are already very good students when they arrive at college and then have the benefit of terrific resources and faculty while they are at school.

Answer 2

For pre-med, I would look for a school where you will be able to interact with med professors as an undergrad. That can lead to good volunteering and research experiences. While Cornell, Brown, Penn, Michigan, and Northwestern are more prestigious schools, I am not sure they have the 'best' pre-med programs. Cornell's med school is in NYC (far from Ithaca); Northwestern's med school is downtown (not in Evanston); however, the med schools for Penn, Brown, and Michigan are all on-campus. I would also strongly consider the University of Washington and the University of Illinois at Chicago GPPA program (the med school is in Chicago, not Urbana). Those two are health science juggernauts: They do so much research that you'll find plenty of interesting opportunities.

Answer 3

Johns Hopkins. They have the most outstanding medical school offering undergrads the best research, and boast a near 100% acceptance rates for undergrads into medical schools. Most of them end up at Harvard, Hopkins, Cornell, Chicago, Penn and Yale medical school, that is if you can survive the extremely rigorous courses. 30% of every class enters as premed, and that number cuts almost in half by senior year. But Hopkins students are largely regarded as the most prepared for serious medical study.

Answer 4

Johns Hopkins, University of California (any of the campuses), Duke, UNC, Look at US News and world report for any more. Most schools that offer and accredited program will be good, so just find a school that suits you the best and fills your academic desires.

Answer 5

Kansas University is a great medical school and has KU Medical Center as teaching hospital.

Answer 6

Im not sure about the TOP premed colleges.

But if you go to any reasonable state school you would have a good chance of getting anywhere. Like MSU! You can go right into MSUCOM or MSUCHM! Im not sure if you get some cred for going to their undergrad, but it wouldnt hurt!

What counts the most is you GPA and MCAT.

Also your ec's!

Answer 7

Go to one of the military academies like Navy, or Air Force. I hear their programs are incredible and you are primed for a job after they pay for your medical school.

Answer 8

Johns Hopkins, Princeton and other stuff, try looking it up on google

Answer 9

University Of Washington........believe it or don't.
