Hey,
I was wondering if anyone can help a high school senior figure out some good pre-med schools? Please don't recommend schools like HYPS, because I have little desire to go to them, and I won't get in anyway. I'm looking for either good state schools, such as Michigan, UT-Austin, University of Washington, or good private schools that have great pre-med programs (such as University of Miami-FL and University of Rochester).
Also, although I really shouldn't be wasting my time with this right now, I'm still thinking a bit about DO vs MD, and did a bit of research. From my research, I found that DO (since it's cheaper, and I like the approach actually) is a perfectly acceptable choice if you are looking to go into either general surgery, IM, or primary care, but not if you are looking at the top fields (i.e. Radiology, Derm, Orthopaedic surgery, etc.). I was wondering if D.O. is a good choice (versus MD of course) if one is looking into neurology or gastro?
thanks in advance!
