check the school out, if you want a GOOD school in Des Moines, or Iowa in general...Drake is good, Iowa State (Go 'Clones) and Iowa are good. As for Osteopathic medicine look into Creighton, in Omaha, and they treat minorities really good at Creighton

Depends on what you want to major in. Stanford, USC, UC Berkley (Cal), and UCLA all have great business programs. The Cal Poly system has great schools if you are looking for the sciences. Most schools in the UC system have good medical programs. Try the link below to get more information on the type of college you are looking for.

According to my source (which cites the US News and World Report college and university survey) the most selective zoology programs are found at Harvard, University of MIchigan - Ann Arbor, and BYU-Provo.  \n\nI'd go for UM-Ann Arbor, personally -- it's more affordable than Harvard, and Michigan is mroe fun than Utah.  :)

It really doesn't matter so much where you go to school; what matters is how you do while you're there (and the MCAT). The better the sciences at the school, the better prepared you will be. Go somewhere decent, but go there and seriously tool it up. Baylor and A&M are both plenty good enough to go anywhere if you max out there. If you have the grades, Rice would be at the top of my Texas list. UT is also probably a good bet to be as strong academically as the two you're considering. \n\nGo here, they expand on the same idea as above:\n\nhttp://www.premedonline.com/HS%20advice/hscollege.html

University of Washington - ranked the top Primary Care medical school \nHarvard (ever heard of this place before?) - ranked the top Research medical school \nUniversity of California, San Francisco and University of Washington - the only schools to make the top 10 in both primary care and research

The medical school you attend/graduate from doesn't solely determine where you will do residency.  Your board scores, personal statement, letters of recommendation, and other course grades will determine where you are offered interviews.  You could complete residency at a top program after graduating from a lesser known medical school.  Being in the best medical school also does not mean you will get the best residency.\n\nAnyway- I don't know alot about specific internal medicine programs.  However - check out www.studentdoctor.net forums...the internal medicine forum there may offer some help.  Also www.scutwork.com has residency program reviews.  \nI would guess some of the "best" residency programs on the east coast are:  Johns Hopkins, University of Pennsylvania (philly), NYU, Cornell, Columbia, Brigham and Women (boston), Mass General, University of Pittsburgh, Emory (atlanta), Duke, etc.

Princeton's psycbology department has a better reputation than Yale's, and Yale's English department has a MUCH better reputation than Princeton's.  Both, however, are great schools, and you won't be making a mistake no matter which you choose.\n\nBut in making your decision, take a few other things into consideration:  Princeton is, overall, a much more politically conservative school, and more culturally homogeneous as well.  Yale is much overtly multicultural, and more politically progressive.   And mind you, I'm not telling you to choose the one most in line with your current politics -- you may want to choose the one that sounds most challenging to your convictions!\n\nAlso, Princeton is smaller, and therefore a bit more personal.  If you are shy, and need drawing out in class discussions, Princeton may be the better choice in that respect because of the smaller class sizes.\n\nYou will have little trouble getting into med school with a degree from either place, as long as your grades are good, and your MCAT scores are high.  So that's really not a factor.  \n\nThe bottom line is that your career goals may change, either slightly or dramatically, over the next four years.  So choose the place that you believe will both nurture and challenge you, and will offer the best resources and environment for you to grow intellectually, emotionally, socially, politically, and even spiritually.\n\nBest wishes!

You might start by looking at the state licensing entities and medical schools.  For example, https://fortress.wa.gov/doh/hpqa1/hps5/Medical/physician_eli.htm\n\n(I think medical school is a BA/BS + four)

depends on what you are looking for.  figure out what your professional goals are in life.  then look at colleges/universities that offer the best programs for that profession.  from there, look at the student life that the campus offers along with the benefits of the surrounding community.  another thing to consider is the weather and how it differs to what you are used to.  a major thing to look into is the cost of going there, it will really rise if you go out of state.  what scholarships do they offer?  at first it seems the further the better, but the distance from home is important too.  \n\nif you need a suggestion of what to look into, i went to the University of Texas at Austin and my husband went to Texas Christian University.  Both are great for their own reasons.

There are many good schools for biology in Alabama. If you plan to go into the medical field, then the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is your best choice, or the University of Alabama. Auburn University also has a strong biology department, but since I am a student at the University of Alabama, I am afraid I am a bit biased. But UAB is a phenomenal school for anything involved with medicine and medical research. You should really look into it.

Go to:\nhttp://webapps.ama-assn.org/doctorfinder/home.html?aps/amahg.htm\n\nIt is then a couple of steps to get to the search page.\nYou will have to choose a specialty (e.g. Internal medicine)\nAlso, spell out Saint Marys.\nGood luck.

A variety of different medical schools have really good programs.\n\nThe University of Virginia - Charlottseville is a great school for Cancer research.\n\nThe University of Utah - SLC has a great pathology program (infectious diseases)\n\nThe University of Wisconsin (Madison) is a major research facility which would have a great deal of research opportunities and learning opportunities for infectious diseases.\n\nI would recommend any of those above.

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!
