[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a strong student but not a genius go to a school where your kid is in the top 10%-25%. My daughter wanted pre-med at UMD and was weeded out. If she had gone to a lower ranked school she would have had a much better shot at making it. The problem is the pre-med classes are graded on a curve and you need to be in the top 25%. [/quote] +100 Go to a school where you are likely to be top 25%. For some that means anywhere in the country will work. For most it does not. The T10/ivy type schools do get their “average” or below gpa kids into med school, as long as Mcat is high(most of these kids can pull a high mcat with reasonable preparation) , but for most schools you need to be at least top quarter. Helps to have good premed advising, easy access (basic science) research available to undergraduates, med school on campus can help but not necessary. [/quote]
