Answer 2

It depends on what you mean by the "best". I suggest the you look at the reported average MCAT scores and medical school acceptance rates of those graduating from pre-med programs in the U.S. that interest you since the ultimate goal is to get admitted to a medical school. If you have your eyes set on a particular medical school, look at what premed programs its new admissions came from. Both strategies should yield instructive information that should be helpful in your decision making. Good luck!

Answer 3

I finished applying to several schools looking for pre-med programs myself--- but most schools don't have that anymore. It's basically just prerequisites for med school that includes your sciences (biology, chem) and math (calculus)
What I did was apply to schools with established on-site hospitals--- like the university of chicago has excellent hospitals and if you're an undergrad UC I'm sure will prepare you more than sufficiently for med school--- likewise, Johns Hopkins is legendary for medicine.
Your best bet is visiting the website to your choice school and talking to their undergrad councelor.

Answer 4

The quality of premed programs is highly correlated with the overall quality of undergraduate education. Look at any rankings of schools (e.g., US News) to get a list of schools that are good for premed.

In other words, the best schools are the Ivy League schools, the Ivy Equivalents (Stanford, Duke, Northwestern, Chicago, etc), the better state universities (Berkeley, Michigan, Virginia, UNC, etc) and the better liberal arts schools (WIlliams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Haverford, etc).
