[quote=Anonymous]Sure.

1. Look over prospective majors - what courses are required, how many hours, are the professors well-rated online. Pre-med requires a certain set of classes, but it is not a major, and major requirements can vary from campus to campus.
2. Pre-med population - are you 1 of 2000 students starting out pre-med or 1 of 400 and of what quality are those students? Average ACT, etc. are only directional but worth noting.
3. Social - is one more a party atmosphere that will suck a student in and away from their studies? Is the other a white knuckle cutthroat environment?
4. Pre-health advising - is there an advising office and is it well-rated online and by students - for example on other boards.
5. Some colleges show what % make it to med school - though they game the numbers at times. What if one school has a 60% med school acceptance for undergrads and the other 20%?
6. Does one school offer more opportunities for research and health-related activities that med schools want to see?

There are others - but I think this would be a good start.[/quote]
