You again!? j/k. UNH is a great school. They have a good pre med committee there too. Get your SATs up to be competitive.

Good question, but I don't know. That's a question I should have asked myself 5 years ago before going to college ~ I was lucky and ended up with a very good HPAC group; I friends who were not so fortunate as I.

I would go and have a talk with the professors there about the health comittee. And definantly talk to the pre-med students at NHU; cause some schools have great ones that really help out students in the proccess, and others do not.

Best of wishes and do well on the SAT!!

Don't worry about a pre-med program.. it doesn't mean anything except helping you apply, which you could do by yourself and you don't even need them. Check out the school.. and if you like it then go for it. You will find there are good and bad professors at every school.. just pick the good ones. And if my assumptions are correct, UNH is a very big shool so you can find several good profs to choose from. Save the money if you are paying on your own, unless you can go to a huge name school that will put you at an advantage when applying.

To be totally honest. It matters not (or very little) where you actually go to school. Save yourself some money and go wherever is cheapest/you get a scholarship.

I wish our school had a better pre-med program. They are trying t oput one together, but the school has so few applicants that each time someone decides to apply (there were quite a few this year) they have to re-learn all the new application procedures. They tried hard, but things still got mixed up quite often. I looked more up online than I asked my advisor... But it can be done, even without school support! 🙂

I went to a small state school where we had a whole 6 people apply to med school this year, and only 3 applied DO. So, I can tell you that you don't need a "pre-med" program to get accepted. Of the 6, 4 were accepted and the other 2 were not beacause they applied late. So, just do good at whatever school you decide to go to and major in something that you are interested in. I majored in business and I received plenty of positive feedback on my interviews about being a non science major.

Thanks a lot for all the replies, sorry I didn't get back earlier I have been on vacation. I am glad to hear that once again " It doesn't matter where you go, as long as you do well" I have a very good shor for UNH and I think its about 17k a year which isn't that bad considering it has a pretty good science reputation.

It would only matter (as someone said) if you were going to a school where very few premeds got into med school or the department seemed disorganized or something rare like that. UNH is a large, reputable school and I'm sure tons of people have gone through successfully....why not go talk to the premed advisor and ask some questions?! best of luck
