Premed at Chicago

<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"&gt;www.uchicago.edu&lt;/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>

</ul>

<p>Hope that helps.</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>
