Columbia University and pre-med...

<p>Hey everyone. Ok, so I plan on eventually going into medicine, and hope to major in neuroscience. And Columbia University is something I'm really interested in right now. I'm not concerned with applying and getting in there right now, but would just like to know more about their pre-med program. I know that it's an Ivy League and all but that isn't a good enough reason for me. Does the college make it easy for students to do science research, give them pre-med advising, and are there any special aspects of their pre-med program which sets them apart from other top colleges? I would really appreciate any input.</p>

<p>Yes to research. There's almost no difference between the top colleges as far as grad placement goes - top ten is top ten. At this level, it's up to you, not the university, to do the work to get into med school.</p>
