Getting accepted into Columbia University

Pre-Med & Medical School Specific Med Schools
1

<p>I'm a freshman at an almost unheard of undergraduate school. It has rolling admission...but it's a pretty big school with a many, many students and has a law, graduate, pharmacy, and medical school attached to it.</p>

<p>My dream is to get accepted into Columbia University for Medical School. Currently, I have a 4.0 GPA and plan on maintaining this throughout all four years.</p>

<p>I am also going to double major in either Psychology/Chemistry or Psychology/Biology.
I'm in the honors program but I may have 1 withdrawal by the end of this semester.</p>

<p>What are some things I should do now to stand out when I apply to Columbia. I know MCAT is a huge thing and I'm studying for that now so I can get a 30+...</p>

<p>Well, for Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, you should be aiming for 35+ on the MCAT.</p>

<p>Also, Dr. Frantz (the dean of admissions at Columbia) is a sucker for rugby players and/or piano players so if you have one of those two talents, that'll help you later on.</p>
