Since many institutions on this forum have their own thread why not start one for UMass-Boston which tends to get overshadowed by BU, and Harvard in Boston.
I've been getting the impression that there are a lot of people at UMass-Boston who have done poorly at their previous institutions, or dropped out and coming back to school. Eventhough they have a certificate program for premed post-bacc overwhelming majority of people if they are not undergrads they prereqs a la carte. I am amazed at the number of people here who intend to apply to pharmacy, dental, or medical school. It just seems a bit odd that given this fact that it barely gets any mention at SDN. If you are in Boston, especially a resident of Massachusetts or soon to be classified as one take a look at this alternative. I'm not saying this to advertise UMass-Boston but so many people are unaware that there are alternatives to BU, Harvard, Tufts and Brandeis. This schools is an alternative especially given its inexpensive tuition if youa re a resident.
Anybody else here who goes to UMass-Boston?
