Hey guys! The following information is just a list I put together of colleges that have been identified as schools with excellent pre-health programs. I'm sure we have all been in the position where its come time to apply for college but we just weren't sure which schools had good programs. Its organized by state so people can determine what schools would be "in state" when they start applying. I may have accidentally ended up focusing too much on pre-medicine, but the list shouldn't be too biased
Colleges that have stars next to them were identified as being "in the top ten" for pre-health programs by the Princeton Review. I put "in the top ten" in quotes because many feel their listing was heavily biased with no real facts or statistics to back up the findings. The rest of the schools were chosen by cross referencing many rankings and statistics available on various websites. I am well aware that I missed a number of prestigious colleges but I was trying to keep the listing condensed. There were a number of states that I could not find a clear winner for. Therefore, I left a place holder until those schools can be determined.
Please post any suggestions! I'll try and keep the post updated. It was quite interesting going through some of these colleges and realizing that they had excellent acceptance rates (Transylvania University in Kentucky had an 87% acceptance rate last year to medical schools, Ripon College in Wisconsin had an 80% rate). I hope someone can find this useful!
