My physician did his pre-med at Michigan State and then earned his MD at Uni. of Michigan which, as you know, is in Ann Arbor! I imagine you, also, know that U of M is ranked in the top 10 best med. schools in the USA. See links 1 & 2 for further info'. I suggest you order the 2009 US News & World Report offered, and the ones for following years, to keep abreast of any curriculum changes and/or requirements at med. schools you may wish to consider. I would telephone the Dean of Admissions for the School of Medicine at U of M to ask which of these schools they believe would give you the best foundation to equip you for admission to U of M. If you have, already, decided which area of medicine you wish to specialize in you should, definitely, bring this up for discussion. Thank you for considering medicine as a career; you are going to have many days/nights when you wonder if you have made the correct choice due to the mountain of knowledge you'll need to commit to memory so you'll need to keep your "eyes on the prize". When people complain to me about their GP not knowing much about the "something" which is their issue I, usually, ask them if they think they are capable of remembering most of the info' in every volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica(?). If you don't, yet, have a Merck Manual, see the 3rd link (do not get the Home Edition) - you should be able to buy a, fairly, recent one for a $10 investment, including postage. You can, also, access this online at link 4.

Michigan is best!

Michigan State, then Wayne State, then Detroit Mercy. In addition to being prepared for med school, you need a school with more of a national reputation, so that it will be respected in the admissions process.
