[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to go to med school, you can be at any undergrad you want. It really doesn't matter. If you have specific future interests in mind, then look for a school that supports that.  Choose undergrad based on fit for that undergrad.

OP - you didn't say what race you are. If you are white, then 70%+ white school will be fine. If you are Asian, especially coming from TJ, then it may be culture shock for your kid - see if they are ok with that. Remember undergrad is not just for feeding into med school. I hope my DC meets a great friend group of like minded people and is exposed to new and interesting things and has dating options. For that, a larger pool of intellectual types would be a priority and Alabama may not offer that.  Every school has happy kids and unhappy kids.  [/quote]

Actually, it’s easy to meet like-minded intellectual kids at Alabama because they  are largely separate in the programs, like McCollough, Blount and Randall. They find each other quickly and live in the same dorms. Race is really not an issue there, there is everyone and it’s less of a thing than in the NE schools. It won’t be culture shock because almost everyone in the programs are from out of state.  [/quote]
