I will let someone else chime in regarding the schools who may know more about those ones in particular.My daughter is a high school senior and is debating between Colby college, Brandeis University, and Boston University for putting the deposit on May 1. She wants to pursue a career in medicine. Which of the 3 colleges would you recommend for a student who wants to do a pre-med track? Which will most likely (and unlikely) enable her to receive a good GPA? In addition, how important is research opportunities as compared to a good GPA for medical school admission? Thank you!
However regarding the research vs GPA. People get into medical school with a good GPA and no research all the time. NO ONE gets into medical school with a bad GPA no matter the amount of research they have completed. Will research help? Absolutely. But it will in no way replace GPA.
