Hi,
I'm a high school Junior looking into colleges that offer pre med programs. I go to a very competitive private high school (ranked #1 nationally) and have a very good GPA/top percent of my class. My high school is called a feeder school to most of the ivies, but I've realized that I really want a school that focuses on science and will allow me to pursue a very specialized track. That being said, I've had a hard time finding colleges that are ranked highly academically in the USA that offer these programs. Form what I've found, USciences and Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences are the only ones that seem to specialize solely in health sciences. That being said, neither are especially highly ranked academically although I would qualify for large scholarships at both since my GPA is high. Are there any other programs out there that offer similar opportunities with better academics? So far, I'm considering UK schools because they're top notch education and they offer specialized programs and I love London, but they have very strict admissions requirements for US student that even with my GPA and scores I'd be worried about getting a spot in medicine because they do pre-med and med school combined in 6 years and offer limited spots for international students.... Any US schools that would be comparable?
USA Schools:
MCPHS
USciences
UK schools:
Imperial College London (top choice)
University College London
Oxford (St. Anne's in particular)
