You've gotten some good answers already, so I'll try to say something different.\n\nI agree that you should try to visit if you possibly can.  You didn't tell us where you currently live, but you should be able be able to hit the schools in PA and NJ in one weekend, and then do another trip for the MO school if you're still torn.  \n\nConsider the locations of the schools.  It's going to be warmer in Missouri (that's MO, right?) than it will be in PA/NJ.  In the northeast you'll be closer to big cities like Philadelphia and New York, but I don't know what's in MO.  \n\nHave you already applied to the schools and you're deciding which to choose?  Or have you not applied yet?  If not, I would say, apply and see which ones come through with the best financial aid.  Easy way to eliminate some options from the list, if you get chunky scholarships from one or two schools and not from the other(s).\n\nDid someone say to talk to the professors?  See who the professors are, what their research is in, how many profs there are, and talk to them about the programs.  Maybe one school has much larger classes than another, which would be a negative point; maybe one offers more opportunities for research and hands-on work in the field.  Maybe one of the schools has a professor you particularly like whom you can kind of apprentice yourself to.  These can all be deciding factors if the schools are that similar.

Around the princeton area is really good. Also, most schools right around the city are all great.

Princeton is very expensive. You might want to look in northern monmouth county like Matawan or Keyport., which are convenient to the NYC train or Rahway or Linden. Metuchen is nice but I think it is probably pricey. There are nice sections of Elizabeth.

Being from New England, I only know schools around here, but I'd suggest Bard College (Annandale-on-Hudson, NY), Bennington College (Bennington, VT), Simon's Rock College of Bard (Great Barrington, MA), or Emerson College (Boston, MA). I have friends at Bard and Emerson who love them. I think they all offer other areas of study, but I'm not sure if there are core requirements that would discourage you.

Many U.S. medical schools are state universities, with heavy preference for applicants from the region, with a few outside applicants.  You may have better luck with a private medical school.  \nU.S. med schools accept almost exclusively applicants with a bachelor's degree at minimum, although to be competitive, a master's degree can help.  The MCAT is also necessary for consideration for admission.\nI've met very few international med students in the U.S., most people interested in training here finish med school in their native country, focus on the USMLE (the board exams for residency application) and apply for residency positions through the residency match.  Look into the fifth pathway program.

I would say UC Davis is the best. \n\nYou could always look up the list online, just type in top 100 medical schools in USA - then look through it for ones in Cali

Hi,\n\nI'm currently a 6th year student and will be graduating in May with my PharmD from Rutgers.  With some bias, I would highly recommend it.  The straight 6 program at Rutgers is a great way to go, but is extremely hard to get into and it's competitive admissions process is only increasing(I was on the admissions committee).  All pharmacy schools will offer you relatively the same education, a lot of what you learn comes from how hard you work.(just like everything else, cliche, I know.)  For admissions reasons, you might have to undergo interviews, so I would recommend a job at a local pharmacy when you are able, some might have age limitations.  As to the second part of the question, a pharmacist with a doctorate in pharmacy has a vast amount of opportunities from working in a local pharmacy to a position in the pharmaceutical industry(especially in the northeast).  A pharmacist in the local drug store (ie CVS) makes good pay and works to advise patients and make sure that the medication dispensed is correct.  Also a lot of recommendations on what over the counter products to use.  I plan on working in a hospital and will be doing a pharmacy residency next year so that I can be a clinical pharmacist in the hospital.  I think I touched on all aspects of your question at least a little.  If you have any other questions about this just type an answer that asks for some more specifics.

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

If you go to www.princetonreview.com you can compare schools offering the degree.  You will be able to narrow down your choices and then ask around about the schools you like.

Go to UCD. do NOT major in biology. Instead, take an easy major and focus your energy on pre-med pre-req classes. That is the best strategy for med school. About 11% of Davis Med matriculants were UCD undergrads, so you have to work hard for it.\n\nI have **MANY** friends who are Indian physicians. They cannot get licensed to practice in America because they need to redo their residencies, take the Boards and so forth. It is a hassle because American medical programs consider these students low-priority. \n\nSo how do I know them? Because they all switched to public health and I met them during graduate school.

I go to UC Davis, and the Med School is one of the best in the country, and I'm sure Dermatology ranks high, too.\n\nBeing a Managerial Economics major, I can't tell you too much about that specific program, but from listening to pre-med friends, the undergrad classes are tough, but not impossible.  Plus, there are many internship/research opportunities on campus, or at the UCD Med Center in Sacramento.\n\nIf you've already got into UCD, congradulations!  If not, I hope you will consider it.  I'll be a senior next year and have absolutely enjoyed my first 3 years here.  Good luck\n\nwli (a) ucdavis .dot. edu
