<p>What's premed like at UofC? Does the workload and grade deflation hurt people when it comes time to apply to med school? Do very many students pursue this option?</p>
<p>Yes, there are a lot of pre-meds here, but it's very hard. There are programs for early application to Pritzker if you're a Chicago student. I can't say because I only know a few personally, and people don't regularly talk about their grades and such.</p>
<p>You might want to search <a href="http://www.uchicago.edu%5B/url%5D">www.uchicago.edu</a> for "pre-med." You'll get lots of useful information.</p>
<p>bump..........</p>
<p>I don't think you're going to get anyone who knows anything more than I do, Weasel...unfortunately. Here's some links I found, I don't know how useful they are.</p>

<li>An [url=<a href="http://maroon.uchicago.edu/o-issue/2005/the_unofficial_guide_to_being_a_u_of_c_premed.php%5Darticle%5B/url">http://maroon.uchicago.edu/o-issue/2005/the_unofficial_guide_to_being_a_u_of_c_premed.php]article[/url</a>] in the Maroon about being a pre-med.</li>
</ul>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>
<p>Some useful links.</p>
<p>I believe about 75% of U of C students with a 3.3 GPA who apply to medical school are accepted.</p>
<p>thanks for the great links</p>
