[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everybody in here talks about “good” stem classes, but that’s just window shopping. You need to get to brass tacks.

[b]Most med schools now require applicants to go through a med school coordinator at their (student’s) university. So you want a school with a very very well staffed career/postgrad services office. Some SLACs don’t even have their own, they split one coordinator. I’ve seen it work, but it doesn’t always. [/b]

Other big consideration is access to lab and hospital volunteer opportunities. These are de facto requirements for applicants and surprisingly hard to do. For ex, in DC hospitals do intake for volunteers once a year and have very limited spots. So if you’re in a college town with one hospital, good luck. [/quote]
Doesn't add up with SLAC outcomes at top med schools. [/quote]

SLAC is a huge category. Both can be true. Some small SLACS do not have a lot of resources to dedicate to this. Some do very well in admissions. Both songs could even be true of one school. Like I said, the sharing model can work, and it’s just one example of how this can be set up—there are a million others.

FWIW, I went to a SLAC that used a shared counselor and had several classmates go to med school. I am a believer in SLACS. [/quote]
Oh so you just bended the conversation so it could fit your reality. No one is bringing up LACs like Agnes Scott; they're talking about the top ones, duh. This is like saying UMinnesota Duluth doesn't have a good premed program, no crap.[/quote]
