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>Columbia is a great place for research opportunities. They offer these even for HS kids through their scholars program for free. </p>

<p>I think it's one of the top schools for Premed esp since you are interested in Neuroscience. The other good schools for Neuro are Yale, MIT, and BU.</p>

<p>Not sure about medical advising.</p>

<p>Thanks. I heard that the advising is bad though. Don't know if it's true.</p>

<p>by the way, i'm the same person as tehreemrehman91.</p>

<p>Well it is an Ivy league school, I can't imagine their advising would be bad.</p>

<p>OP,
I suggest posting on Columbia thread. I am sure someone who is currently in Sophomore or Jr year at CU could give you more first-hand experience.</p>

<p>yeah, i was just about to do that. thanks</p>
