Pre-med at Washington College in Chestertown, MD

Pre-med at Washington College in Chestertown, MD?
I am interested in going pre-med in college, with no specific interest in terms of a major. Doing research or having opportunities for internships in a hospital is important to me. As of now, I have been mainly looking at more well known schools, and my top choices so far are Rice and Wash U. However, I was out east looking at schools and stumbled upon Washington College, which I had never heard of but was very impressed by. What have you guys heard of in terms of the pre-med program at Washington College or anything in gerneral? Thanks!

Answer 1 :
For pre med I would go for Wash U, Loyola or University of Chicago. sorry, not answering about Washington College. never heard of it. For any college I would highly recommend going to the college yourself for a visit, campus tour, meet with admissions and talk to someone in charge of the pre med program
Answer 2 :
Hi, Steve! That's great that you found Washington College - such a gem! As a great, private, small liberal arts school, we have a lot to offer a student interested in premedical studies. Most premed students major in Biology or Chemistry. You'll take a number of courses in both areas. The classes are small (averaging around 12-15 students), and you'll have the opportunity to work closely with professors on engaging, self-designed research projects. WC has more research equipment than some graduate schools (and with the small class sizes, you'll actually get to use it)! Professors with terminal degrees will teach your premed classes at WC; no T.A.'s will teach the classes! On the national level, students have an average of 1-2 years between undergraduate studies and attending medical schools. Recent WC grads have obtained work or fellowship opportunities at places like the National Institute of Health, Hopkins, UMD Medical Center, and Kennedy Krieger among others. Our students leave WC comfortable with conducting and presenting research, using experiment equipment, thinking critically, and writing skills.
