[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is pre-med at an Ivy. Their thoughts: 
-the pre med classes aren't impossible and peers are not a crowd of geniuses. 
-the medical school results are really good. The seniors my child knows personally this year are going to Yale, UVA, Mt. Sinai, and Hopkins.  All top tier med schools. No gap year. [/quote]

Mine is also at an ivy and I had another student at a different ivy. The placements to med school are amazing. 3.8-3.9 getting T30 places, above 3.90 getting T10/20 places. Many of them got merit: personally know free ride to Vanderbilt a d NYU, merit $ at Duke, need or merit not sure but big aid at stanford med, and one picked full merit at their instate which is roughly Top30 over a top10.

Med school aid has exploded and the ones with the most aid seem to be taking students from top schools. Its easier in a way to get 518+ when 1/3 od the premeds at your school get that, and upperclassmen have greaf advice on clinicals, getting research, paid summers, and of course study groups work best when almost everyone is a high level.
