Step 1
Do make sure that you have completed the following college-level science courses before applying at a pre-med school: biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry and physics. Get good grades in these subjects.
-
Step 2
Narrow your choice of pre-med school down to ones that have a strong interest in science studies. It also helps to know exactly what field of medicine you are interested in studying.
-
Step 3
Look for a school that allows you to participate in medically-oriented activities, such as volunteering at a hospital or shadowing a doctor who is making his ER rounds. You want a school that supports its students education wholly.
-
Step 4
Be sure to investigate the acceptance rates of pre-med schools that you wish to apply at. Some will only take on students from particular colleges or universities. Don't waste your time if you know that a school will not accept you based on what college you attended.
-
Step 5
Learn the teacher-to-student ratio at the schools you are interested in applying to. Make sure that class sizes are not so big that the professors cannot teach materials adequately.
-
Step 6
Talk to other pre-med students or doctors that you may have contact with. Ask them about their experiences at the medical college they chose.
-
Step 7
Be on the look out for a pre-med program that has a reputation for graduating top quality doctors. Check out alumni lists and records to assess this further.
