Choosing a College?
Favorite Answer
UNC is also a great med school. They tend to like to take students into their grad programs that graduated from their undergrad. And Chapel Hill is relatively urban too and definitely a liberal arts school.
Though why do you want to go to a liberal arts school if you want to major in science? You want to go to a school that has a fabulous biology/chemistry department as that’s what you’ll be taking.
However there are tons of medical schools–not to mention you didn’t mention your GPA–that you could apply to. And you didn’t mention any limitations–like in state tuition that might be a factor. But those are 2 fabulous medical programs.
2. A college in an urban setting that doesn’t cost too much is somewhat vague. What do you mean by “won’t cost too much?” Would you mind going to a public versus private school? (There are advantages and disadvantages for both)
3. A liberal arts program is a great (and very popular) decision. Your undergraduate experience shouldn’t be limited to organic/inorganic chem, bio, etc… Med programs desire a strong “science” background but they also look for people with a diverse array of personalities and interests.
Penn State and University of North Carolina may be two to look at. But if you find a state school in your state the tuition will be less than if you go out of state.
