[quote=Anonymous]Medical schools care much more about your GPA than the quality of the university's premed program. For that reason, a "good" premed program is one that doesn't curve core premed classes like orgo, chem, bio, etc. The easier it is to get an A, the better. For that reason, it would be a good idea to have a match-heavy or safety-heavy application profile, as there are downsides to being at a college where everyone is as smart and hardworking as you and there are only so many As.

Look into colleges that give merit aid (you can get your merit's worth while still being a big fish), large universities that aren't super selective (easy research opportunities), and BSMD programs (keep in mind these can easily be as selective as Ivies; apply one or two ranks below what you think is appropriate https://blog.collegevine.com/a-complete-list-of-all-bs-md-programs/), Early Assurance programs (these are conditional on performance at the undergrad, do your research and caveat emptor https://www.prospectivedoctor.com/medical-school-early-assurance-program/)[/quote]
