[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of freshmen think they want pre-med. But ultimately change concentrations for various reasons. These are 18 year old kids. They shouldn't know what they really want to do. They're just listening to their parents at that age. I personally think you should choose a school that is solid all around. A lot of things change between ages 18-22. And it's good to have a plan B for majors and ambitions and be in an environment where you can make those changes. So I'd encourage going to the top all around school if the fit is good. You want to maintain optionality in case an 18 year old changes their mind about med school. And regardless, med schools are very well aware of grading differences at selective schools. They adjust accordingly. [b]Your student at MIT or Rice or Princeton and other difficult schools is going to have an easier time with med school admissions than a 4.0 from Podunk U. [/b] [/quote] 100%[/quote]
