<p>Please evaluate the biology program at IWU: what are the pros and cons for premed students?</p>
<p>I graduated from IWU early this month with Bio & Philosophy double major.</p>
<p>Pros:
- Good reputation among medical schools
- Good research opportunities
- Bromenn Medical Center is only 5 minutes away</p>
<p>Cons:
- It is a weed out program
- Few classes available</p>
<p>Nurmanator: Are you continuing in a grad program?</p>
<p>Nurmanator, </p>
<p>I just wanted to congratulate you on your graduation and thank you for your participation on this board. You were so helpful when my son was making his decision, choosing housing, etc. back in 2005. Thanks again and good luck in the future!</p>
<p>Thank you for the kind words, baymom.</p>
<p>rdh81: I've been applying to medical schools in Australia. Most programs there are PBL-based as opposed to lecture-based, and that is what I perform best in. Most PBL schools in the US do not accept international students as they are rural-based. I had an interview in April and I've been shortlisted for their admission in February, but so far I have not heard anything.</p>
