[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering whether places like tufts that are known for premed offer more opportunities, but that it is really competitive to get them— if student comes to college interested in science/premed, has some health care related volunteering but hasn’t had research experience before, would a place like tufts or a Slac like Pomona be better? Wondering about pros and cons more generally for science/premed for this type of student at places known for premed (tufts, wash u, Emory) vs Slacs (wasp, Haverford, Wesleyan, bates).[/quote]

oh gosh, if you are premed and go to Tufts, you have Tufts Medical Center, Mass Eye and Ear, Brigham and Womens, Mass General, Boston Childrens, Beth Israel, Dana Farber, and on and on.  All offer internships, co-ops, volunteering.  Being a pre-med in Boston is a major boost.[/quote]
Most of the good opportunities like internships, much more common than co-ops, are during the summer-so you still have national competition. There's nothing really special about tufts medical acceptance rate compared to any other top school.[/quote]
