Thanks, I'm so excited! The only bad thing is he mostly does joint replacement surgery (which I think would be so cool), so its nearly impossible for me to watch an actual surgery, our hospital has pretty strict rules. Plus, hes a bit notorious for getting pretty mad if **** goes down (which honestly I'd love to see!).
I guess that I've researched a lot of schools and Princeton seems like the one that would fit me the most. I went to New Jersey last year for a tour and loved it. I also love how undergraduate focused Princeton is. I also like their Senior Thesis Requirement, In which every student is required to submit their own individual thesis on a topic that interests them. Almost every student review I've read for Princeton has nothing but good things to say about the professors, who have a lot of time for students after/before class, and that the lectures are great. As for the grade deflation, I honestly think that all colleges should have it. My 2nd choice school also has it (UMich). I think that if I like the material, and work hard enough, the grading system shouldn't affect me too much. I just have to make sure that I don't do what I did in high school and screw up my freshman year. Of course, I'd have to get in first; definitely an uphill battle .
By the way, what's your top choice school?
Edit: Guess I didn't answer specifically why Princeton Premed. I guess that with the uncertainty of the future of medicine, I'd like to keep my options open if I end up not going the MD/DO route.
