When you’re looking for a “medical-bound” college, just make sure the college offers a variety of science majors and has a good pre-medical office and guidance.

In the end, it’s really about you and how well you do in your courses. If you want a personal story, my boyfriend is applying to medical schools right now. He goes to Hunter College, biochemistry major, did pretty well on the MCAT, and the pre-med advisor told him he has a pretty good chance in several schools in the city.

Another thing, you won’t be needing statistics (that’s mostly for nursing/education/nutrition majors). And it’s kind of pointless if you take AP Calculus and Chemistry because if you’re a pre-med major, the medical schools want to see a COLLEGE grade for those courses. I mean, you can take them and get the AP score so that you’ll have an easier time in college and get As, but you’ll need to take them again.

Also, sorry to say, but the community service you did during high school won’t count when you’re applying to medical schools.

The road to medical school is long and difficult… stay focused and good luck!!
