First I would learn more about the process of becoming an MD or DO and about the medical school experience.  Getting into med school (in the US) is about three things: your GPA, your MCAT score, and IF based upon the first two, how your med school interview goes.  Having a masters may have little to do with getting into med school and might not have any effect one way or the other.\n\nI went to grad school and now I teach at a university, but I attended an academic medical center that was among other things a school of medicine.  Also, my wife has worked at the med school for almost 30 years directly with the students.  \n\nUnfortunately, school counselors and college advisors often either don't know or give poor advise to health professions students.  If your goal is to be a doctor and you have the grades and can make a decent score on the MCAT - by all means try the medical school route.  Be aware of a few things:\n1. Don't expect to hold a job, even part-time for 4 - years.  You either have relatives that help you pay for school and life expenses, or you take out loans.  There are few scholarships for med school.\n2. Apply to all the schools in your state, you increase your chances of getting accepted.\n3. Plan on moving again for your residency (4-6 years more).  You have little say in where you'll do your residency, by the way, if you are in the top half of your class you might get one of your top three choices.\n\nBy all means TALK to recent graduates, preferably those in the midst of a residency.  Many schools allow pre-meds to meet with current students.  Contact the student affairs office at the med school near you. They will give you the best picture.\nBest wishes.

I believe that the best answer for you is "the best college that you can get yourself into". Your question is written as if the work is already done--you've good grades and a respectable SAT score. Those scores are all meaningless to colleges if you don't put your best effort forward on the application to get them to notice you.\n\nThe next decision to make is what can you afford, or how much can you receive on scholarship. The latter is again based on your own effort in the application process. The former, based on your family's ability to contribute to your education, may force you to be more realistic than you may prefer. There's nothing wrong with going to whatever is close to your home and low-cost. As long as you continue your high achievement, you can still get yourself into medical school as long as you, once again, put forth your best effort in the application process.

with those SAT scores, you can probably count out the ivies.  an average harvard student gets 1500 or so on their SATs.  unless you're the best student your current college has ever seen, it's gonna be pretty hard to transfer to harvard or yale or princeton, especially if you want to go straight onto a medical track.\nthat said, the rankings:  harvard is usually ranked the highest, followed by yale and princeton, then dartmouth, penn, brown, and finally cornell.  for med school, though, the rankings might not go in that order.\nto you, i would recommend looking at a good state university in whatever state you're considering moving to.  you can get a fine education there, with much less stress, and considerably less money.\nbest of luck.

you don't necessarily have to go to a prestigous university, however u should get into a decent university. Remmber med shool is a totally different ball game. Its very competetive. Where ever u go, make sure you have AT LEAST A 3.7 GPA, and good MCAT. \nIf you really want to be doctor, then go to a communnity college. (2years) Get a 3.8 GPA. then transfer as a junior to a semi-prestigous university, ie. UCLA, Penn State, SUNY, or any state universtiy. Finish with a 3.7. Apply to Med School\nAlso, while in college pre-med, have a back-up major, ie biomedical engineering, nursing, doctor assisant, teaching. Also have tons of community services, ie. volenteer at the hospital. Oh a good thing to do is become an EMT while doing pre-med. Have great refrences, and make sure u STUDY. No joke. more than 50% of pre-med applicants don't get admisstion. Also you might want to even consdireding getting a masters before u get into med school. thats 6 year of PRE-med. then another 4 years of med school, then another 3 years of resedency then a few more years of internship. Be realistic (Can you handle all that, no offense, just trying to help)

I know they look at the MCAT the hardest. Then they look at your science GPA. I have been told many times a 3.0 GPA will get you into med school. You of course need to take alot of sciences (biology, gen chem, organic chem, and biochem, physics) to prepare for the MCAT. \n\nI am currently in my junior year at UAB (university of alabama at birmingham) and am taking the MCAT in 2006 after I finish with my last physics semester in Spring 06. My GPA is 3.4 and have had 2 years of MD (CP200) shadowing from Burn Unit, STICU, ER and OR. I also have a big family history of physicians. Also its not a bad idea to shadow a MD who is actually on the board of the med school you are applying to. Also the interview is one of the most crucial parts. Don't have a interview and say you are doing it for the $$$. Medical school is not about book knowledge. It's about being able to work in a group and working with all kinds of patients. You will never be able to learn everything, it's all experience. I want to go into Neurosurgery or Cardiothoracic surgery. I need to go into 4 years of college, 4 years of med school, and then 3 years of specializing. You still will not know everything there is, and the only way you can learn is by having years of experience. I have heard that it takes of 10 years just for neurosurgeons to experienced enough to be experts in their field. This is why most of the good physicians are pretty old. EXPERIENCE!\n\nAlso, do not limit yourself to one or two med schools. Apply to every med school you know. You never know when a school decides to give someone a break and try them out. Good luck.\n\nI hope this helped you.

If you really wnat to become a doctor then Pre-med is the way to go.  It wiil prepare you for the rigors of med school.  If you're really not sure, your 1st year should be loaded with general eduacation hours, so hopefully you'll catch on to an area that you feel is what you want to study.\nIf you're concerned about the costs, apply for FAFSA, and every scholarship that you can.  Also, consider community college for the 1st two years and knock out your gen-ed requirements (CC's are typically less expensive), consider public (state) schools.  Private schools are more expensive.\n\nGood luck!

Stony Brook University has a good pre-med program and also a medical school on campus.\n\nNYIT (New York Institute of Technology) has a 7 year BS/DO program where you enroll as a pre-med undergraduate and after 7 years are awarded both your undergraduate and D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) degree.  They also have a medical school on campus, which is the reason for the joint program.\n\nHofstra University also has an excellent pre-med program, as does C.W. Post College of Long Island University.\n\nGood luck!

Go to a 4-year school (preferably one with a good reputation), take the required prerequisite pre-med courses like Physics, Calculus, Biology, Chemistry... then take the MCAT test for acceptance into a medical school. Spend the next 4+ years in med school working crazy hours and doing rotations in all aspects of medicine (emergency, surgery, peds, etc.) then specialize in Ob/gyn. Hope this helps. Universities have more info on specific requirements for med school.

Depends what you want to study. There isn't really a "best" college. There are only colleges with really popular programs. For example, take Harvard. It's known for its law school, but that doesn't make it the best college. Another college could have a great med school and the same aplies. It all depends on what you want to study and what type of program the college provides. Do your research to find out.

It's simple as this. YOU CAN"T!\n\nALL med schools require biology, etc.

You are thinking of BS-MD programs. No AMERICAN school puts a high schooler straight into medical school (however, this is the practice in many parts of Asia).\n\nThese compressed programs start with an accelerated bachelor's degree, then you take the MCAT and are admitted to the med program. Most programs are 7 years, but UMKC has a 6 year program.\n\nUC Riverside and Univ. of Southern California also offer similar programs.\n\nMy best friend did the UCR program and dropped out in 2 quarters. They start with 200 students. Only 8 make it to the UCLA at the end. This is because you will be taking a lot of hard classes at once, and you will be fighting to keep your grades up as well as stay sane.

www.DrugDealers.com\n\nor you can just go the traditional way and choose a 4 year degree at a reputable university and actually go to class and study your brains out so that not only you have an excellent GPA, but that you also actually learn the information in the classes you take so that you can also get a high score on the MCAT. Then, apply to usually 10-20 different medical schools with the hopes that at least one accepts you. Study medicine for 4 years in a medical school, which most likely you won't be able to have any other life besides medical school. Then once you're done with 4 years of medical school you will most likely do a residency, which could possibly take another 4 years for a total of 12 years now. Then you can either start your own practice, or just work for some hospital as a doctor......\n\nbut the first website would probably be much easier....especially for you :-)
