Best Medical School

[premeddick]

I can't seem to decide which is the "best" medical school in the country. Is it Hopkins, Stanford Harvard, WashU, UCSF...? Some professional schools seem to have clear "bests." Wharton at UPENN is one fine business school. So is Kellog at Northwestern. Anyway I guess my conclusion is that the USNEWS rankings are complete BS since almost every school on the whole list has great plusses and terrible minuses.

Whatever is the best for you is the "best" medical school.

Agreed. Unless it's in New York City, and in that case all the med schools there suck because that's where the Yankees are. Anyone who is anyone knows that all the best medical schools are found in Boston.

No, that's Chicago. Daaa Bears

The best med school is the one you get into.

Yeah, I forgot about that one. Scratch off what I wrote above.

Make Ditka the Dean of Admissions at Pritzker, and that place would be unstoppable!

 

[Centinel]

No Hollywood Upstairs references yet? For shame.

 

[630670]

I heard that the best medical schools are found in the carribean because they have great weather and people speak spanish. whats not to like?

 

[gostudy]

Princeton...hands down.

 

[geno2568]

are you guys telling me that a "The House of God" reference has yet to be brought up in this thread?

Shame on all of you

 

[Ari Gold]

And they have sexy Carribean girls giving ? jk....

don't you mean they "gives out heads"

 

[dopaminesurge]

don't you mean they "gives out heads"

Yes. More easily than Paris Hilton assigns As.

Wait a minute...

The best medical school is Hollywood Upstairs. Don't bother applying there unless you have a 4.2 GPA and a 47 on the MCAT, though. The admissions committee is very selective to a variety of factors---the least of which is numbers. You'll also need a few publications and a nomination for a Nobel Prize. I generally suggest that students travel to Africa in their spare time and cure a few people of AIDS. Don't forget about the rec letters. You'll need at least one head of state to vouch for your skills and dedication to medicine.

 

[Pinkertinkle]

Best med school is wash u /thread.

 

[Callogician]

Out of all of the medical schools I know well, Drexel is the absolute best.

 

[Bubblehead-to-MD]

Ahh the BMS - Has anyone else read "The House of God" by Samuel Shem? Excellent fictional read about life as an intern.

Oops! You must have mentioned this earlier in the thread then? Yeah, I don't usually take the time to scroll through all of the posts. That would probably prevent things like this from happening!

 

[akademiks1989]

Princeton...hands down.

Michigan, hands down.

 

[BozoSparky]

hey...this is from wikipedia...i am not biased

The book is very likely autobiographical, with the BMS being Harvard Medical School (commonly called HMS), and The House of God is quite likely Beth Israel Hospital now a part of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, one of the HMS-affiliated hospitals in Boston, Massachusetts.

Was this post in response to the fact that I called the book fictional? I also believe that it is possibly an autobiography...

 

[Centinel]

deuist and quix - Dr. Nick's fabulastical med school just wasn't getting the love it deserved. Mmmm H30.

nobody mentioned it...that's all. no sdn jab was meant for you, i swear.

Which ever one accepts you and that you'll be happiest at.

the one that rejects you first. i mean, they were the quickest to decide that you weren't good enough, so they have to be good...

Just wondering - the post seemed a bit random at first!

I cannot fathom more ignorance over Stanford. I would love to know where you all get your information about how "easy" Stanford grades. I would suggest talking to someone who doesn't attend a UC, and might offer a legitimate assessment of our grading system. To graduate with honors (generally top 10%) in most departments, you only need a 3.3, whereas at most of your schools, to graduate in the top 10% you need a 3.9. No one gets all A's at Stanford... And if you are pre-med, and you claim to have never gotten a C, you are lying.

how does only needing a 3.3 mean that the classes are harder? it just means the students are dumber....

(i'm just kidding)

 

[Dr. God MD Ph.D]

You have to find your niche. There is no set 'best' medical school. All the schools are truly great.

Good luck to you.

Your screen name made me laugh cause I've seen doctors actually sign their names like that....kinda off a bit overkill heheheh!

who's in first place?

"House of God" was quality, but I would stay away from the sequel "Mount Misery." I think Shem wrote that one a lot later and there is a significant drop off...its just not nearly as funny or interesting.

I think the author mentions this in the afterword.
