Colleges famous for their premed courses--advice wanted still!
I think this is a horrible idea. You will end up in a school where the biology classes are filled with pre-meds and other STEM majors. The pre-meds are called "gunners" because they are trying real hard to get an A-/A/A+. These courses are typically graded on the curve and are called "weeder courses." If you are not in the top 30% of this specialized population, you will end up with a B or lower which will kill your chances of med school. The 2 + 2 plan with community college and university will make it easier to earn A grades with the very occasional B grade.
This type of school is good for gunners who want to get into the top tier medical schools rather than mere mortals who would be ecstatic to enter any medical school.
