Isn’t SLAC better for potential medical school students because of small classes and easier access to professors.[/quote]

From what I have read, medical school admissions is all about GPA and MCAT scores. So, yes, the flagship route is in some ways riskier because of the grading and the weeder courses. And I also believe the competition is tougher in classes that are graded on a curve because of the nature of the student body. That all said, I figure medical school is a $400,000.00 commitment so my DD would need to basically come out of undergraduate debt free. And given her HS stats, she had numerous Flagship offers that basically were priced at room and board. So, if money was not an object she might have considered alternatives, that's not our case. And at some level my DD thrives on the competition. We will see how things turn out. She is a second semester junior and still carrying a 4.0. But she is also thinking through going straight to another four years of (medical) school.[/quote]
