Best school for undergrad

Members don't see this ad.

I got into the following schools, which would be best for premed in terms of going to a prestigious med school and how competitive is each school to get high grade? I prefer to go to a school that has competitiveness at normal because at the end, gpa and mcats are considered a big chunk of the overall application. List your preference in order for the best pre-med school from the following listing:

Boston College
Fordham University
Marist College
Suny Stony Brook
St. Johns University
University of Hartford
Mcgill University

Also, be sure to take into consideration research/volunteer opportunities available and other factors that play a role in medical school admission.

Your other thread got moved here fyi.

Seeing how Boston College has been my dream school since the age of 7, I'd choose BC. It's an amazing school with solid academics, beautiful campus, and great sports teams as well. They have something set up with several Boston area hospitals including one of the nations top hospitals in Mass General Hospital for internships and such. They also have an early acceptance program with Tufts Medical School:

Mind sharing your secrets of success in getting accepted there? 🙂

i understand from multiple people IRL that McGill has absolutely crushing grade deflation. it will be more difficult to get a competitive GPA there, for sure.
