[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no particular reason and this is just an anecdote in your friend group. I would guess most pre meds are not making that choice unless because of cost. VA Tech is significantly less than even UVA and W&M and families are smart to save money for med school if that's the route the kid is going. Also, some these schools may be more known for grade deflation and the one thing you need to get in college for medical schools a top GPA.

I don't think there's any particular other reason why you'd choose Tech for medical school.[/quote]

VT is one of the largest schools in the state, so not really an anecdote. [/quote
The anecdote is that at their kids school people are r[b]egularly turning down UNC, UVA, Georgetown and W&M to go pre med at VA tech.[/b][/quote]

Maybe for Georgetown for cost.  And UNC if OOS cost but I don't know anyone turning down W&M and UVA for pre-med. Remember that UVA has UVA hospital, the premier hospital in the Commonwealth.[/quote]
