Pre-Med at Rochester Institute of Technology

College Search & Selection

Hey guys,

I am looking at RIT as a biomedical sciences major, and I like the campus/college. How is it in terms of offering a solid pre-med track/resources?

RIT is close to the U of R and U of R Medical School. Would it be possible to find EMT or volunteer or shadow at the U of R medical school? Are there medical centers or hospitals nearby? Would they allow me to volunteer at the U of R School of Medicine because I heard that it is competitive and most U of R undergrad pre med students have taken up the spots? I wanna try Emergency medicine or pediatrics or more speciality volunteering.

I also like research and global health, but does RIT have any good international public health or study abroad programs? How are the research opportunities? Would it be competitive for me to get a good research position at the U of R School of Medicine?

Also, how is the pre-me advising committee? In terms of essays, MCATs, Reccs, do they offer a lot of help? People get very stressed out through that.

Thanks guys!!

Ask their pre-med advisers what previous students have done. I know a fair number who have gone to RIT and loved it, but none have been even slightly interested in med school. They’ve been interested in computers and technology.

If you like what recent previous grads have done - where they’ve been accepted to med school, etc, then it’s possible for you to do it too if you match their MCAT, GPA, and ECs.
