I am a student who just went through the application cycle this last year, and got into 7 schools. The key for undergrad is choosing something you can excel in, and are passionate about - for me, that was biology because I got into some really cool research. But MANY of my friends chose majors that seem totally unrelated, like art history or spanish, and also got into several schools. You just have to find an area that you love, and get a good experience out of it - that's what the med schools know to look for.

I am reading a great deal about med school but I am looking at undergraduate work and confused about what might help me get into med school? I have heard and read so many varying opinions that I am even currently confused about my biology interest and whether biology will help or hinder me in the process? Any suggestions? A small liberal arts college would be ideal for me. Finding one within my budget and with strong sciences is also a challenge!
I would appreciate any insight someone might have!

In your reality check section you failed to mention the reality of some of the lowest paid salaries which include primary care specialties, pediatrics in particular. The salary for a pediatrician can be as low as $90,000 depending on where you practice. Not all MDs make 6 figure salaries.

Just to clarify, CCLCM is providing unconditional full tuition scholarships to all students, regardless of career plans or area of practice. The goal is to encourage students to go into academic medicine, but this is not a requirement.
