Lol at UConn and UMass. Both are hardly academic pre-med heavyweights and enrollments are very big.

In MD. At a private day school. No weighted GPA. 3.76. 33 ACT. Have no knowledge of Liberal Arts other than a few pals who went to Colorado College over 25 years ago.

Would a smaller state flagship work?

U Conn or U Mass?

Richmond
Wake Forest
Amherst
William and Mary

Yes I went to Michigan. Never talk it up at all. Made the mistake of taking them out with me. Hooked. O Chem with 400 would not work and they don’t see it.

Tufts a bigger school not really an LAC and Holy Cross is strong.

Kid. They are not aggressive enough to work the system like you have to; would drown.

So, again, it’s too big for your liking.

If you have a student who wants to go to a large school and you force them to go to a SLAC, they will be angry and resentful (and blame you when they are unhappy). You need to step back, even if that means they might make a mistake.

Holy Cross has fantastic premed program. Grads from HC include Nobel Prize winner, Dr Fauci, several current Medical School Deans and former President of AMA.

My DC wants Bio, Pre Med. They are obsessed with flagship schools. They are to big. What LACs have best pre-med pipline for bio and research opportunities as an undergraduate?
