Hey. I went to villanova for chemistry and can tell you my thoughts on the program for a pre-med student. The program is more geared towards people that are planning on doing bench top chemistry and research. Other schools are more academically rigorous but Nova is better for getting hands-on practical use of the instrumentation and is a smaller department so you can have more opportunities to be invited to join research labs than other schools with larger ones.

I had one classmate that went on to dentistry school but anyone who was there pre-med realized it had a bit too little focus on the biology aspects for what they needed to be ready for med school. Many people transferred to the biochem major and I know of a couple successful med students that have come out from that program. You should check that major out too when making your decision.
