I don't think it matters if cost is not an issue.

I'd choose BYU over anywhere for undergrad

What exactly makes it that much more special?

Diablo and Doc

The honor code.

Totally agree, without the HC nothing would hold the students back from turning

How many YSA wards are there in Chapel Hill?

WorfoSAUR

2/9/16 6:41pm

So, it's special because of the number of YSA Wards? Are USU, UofU, WSU, UVU,

Getting into med school from either seems like a wash but counting on going

Do you get to a point in undergrad where you have a pretty decent idea of

I know it's not Med school but for Dental School they would straight up tell you

I didn't go to med school, but I would assume so

Ochem has crushed the dreams of many future physicians and dentists.

Gen Chem 105/106 is probably the biggest weed out class

All about the MCAT. He should aim to only take it once, but a maximum of twice

Meh, Average is average cause people get in with it.

BYU. You want to be married going into med school

WDaddy

Actually, this is a really good point. Dating in med school and residency is pretty much impossible.

I had 100x more of a social life in Med school than undergrad

He's right

As a current YSA in medical school, I'll second this

More medical schools in NC. Some states have resident quotas (ie UofU 90% have

Utah in state percentage is not that high. Also where you do your undergrad and

I"m just commenting on that if the kid is from NC

Undergrad school is mostly a non factor in medical school admissions

docrick

2/9/16 5:52pm

This is the correct answer, if he's confident grades wont be an issue at either

Cabadapeste

2/9/16 5:56pm

MCAT and Grades being importance 1a and 1b

BYU-Texas

2/9/16 5:58pm

Shouldn't really matter

doktorpfeffer

2/9/16 6:08pm

Disagree amiably here. BYU has a much better acceptance rate in medical school

rockhound

UVU had every Dental applicant get in for like 5 straight years, that tells you

Cabadapeste

2/9/16 6:14pm

Where did they get into medical school?

WorfoSAUR

2/9/16 6:38pm

I'm talking Dental Schools not sure about Med, in this aspect Dental school

Cabadapeste

Significant difference in admissions criteria med school vs dental.

UNC pre med is very strong, hard to compare to BYU but it is similar to

At UNC he'll waste his whole 4 years writing papers for the basketball team...

Noni Fruit

I'd say BYU, but there's a lot to be said to having a med school at your Ugrad.

IGlowInTheDark

2/9/16 5:59pm

UNC without a doubt IMO.

Also, tell your friend to tell his son not to go to med school.

HeismanTy

2/9/16 6:49pm

He's already told him he can't go to law school.

BYU puts more White men into medical school than any other undergraduate.
