August 26, 200620 yr I'm in the process of applying to college. I like science and math. I am pretty sure that I want to go into either medicine or dentistry. I have some colleges in mind already, but I would like to know about any colleges that you guys know about that might interest me. This decision is very tough and I'll take any advice I can get. Thanks.
August 26, 200620 yr Dont pick FIU. That's my only advise. Judging by the influence they've had on your spelling, I'll be sure to steer clear of FIU.
August 26, 200620 yr Dont pick FIU. That's my only advise. Judging by how they've helped you spell, I wouldn't pick them either. Exactly!
August 26, 200620 yr Do you have any financial limitations rorod? That's what I want to know, too. While we're at it, do you have any preference as to where you want to go? i.e., in-state vs. out-of-state And what are your stats? No, I don't mean a/s/l...

August 26, 200620 yr This is the same guy that wants to go buy a new car and give the dealer cash for it.
August 26, 200620 yr Go to Brown. My cousin went there for football and got a hell of a National Championship ring (I still can't believe how many diamonds those things have).
August 26, 200620 yr What year did he graduate? My brother went to Brown as well. He's current. Last year was his Freshman year. Daniel Nuber. Note: he was on the JV squad. Stood on the sidelines.
August 26, 200620 yr Author Money isn't really an issue within reason. Out of state/In state I prefer in state but I want to apply some out of state schools too. SAT=1410(old style)GPA=4.6(weighted)...my school doesn't tell us class rank.
August 26, 200620 yr If you like medicine and want to go in state and money isn't an issue you should apply to UM.

August 26, 200620 yr FSU is up and running with their med school...plus all the grads got residency right off the bat. VISIT EACH SCHOOL IF YOU CAN!
August 26, 200620 yr if youre interested in dentistry, UNC has a really good program and lord knows i need more Miami people up here in Chapel Hill

Judging by the influence they've had on your spelling, I'll be sure to steer clear of FIU. :lol :lol :lol :notworthy :notworthy if youre interested in dentistry, UNC has a really good program and lord knows i need more Miami people up here in Chapel Hill UNC is were I want to go when I graduate in 4 years. apparently they have a great program, my aunt went there and now is VERY successful.
August 26, 200620 yr With your credentials and wants, I'd say almost any solid school in the country could fit your needs. If you want to go in-state and are interested in any kind of medicine choose either UF or UM. I think UF's Colleges of Dentistry and Medicine are considered the best in the state, but UM's got a great program based on what I've heard (and the fact they produce studs such as Shaq-Man have to mean something).
August 26, 200620 yr Go to Brown. My cousin went there for football and got a hell of a National Championship ring (I still can't believe how many diamonds those things have). My grandmother works at the Brown medical school.
August 26, 200620 yr Dont pick FIU. That's my only advise. Co-sign. Math and science majors are wasting their time at the FIU.
August 26, 200620 yr If you are sure you want to go into medicine, I've heard good things about the 6 year med program at UM from some of the people who have done it. With your SAT's/grades it could be an option depending on how your GPA is weighted and where you go to high school.

With your SAT's/grades it could be an option depending on how your GPA is weighted and where you go to high school. I'm in it, and personally, I regret the decision. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone except the lazy and unmotivated. That said, having a guaranteed seat in med school certainly made life easier in college, and I really can't think of too many bad things to say about the med school. If you're positive that you want to be a doctor and you don't really feel like working in college, feel free to take a look into it. While I don't know anyone who has gotten in with that SAT score, it doesn't hurt to apply, and IIRC, the secondary app didn't take long at all.
