<p>Do premed and prelaw applicants whose applications display a preprofessional stance have any admissions advantage? That is, all else being equal, would the application of a premed applicant who volunteered at a hospital shine brighter than that of a premed applicant who volunteered at a library?</p>
<p>I would be willing to bet that if two pre-med applicants were exactly the same on paper, they would be more inclined to the applicant who had volunteered at a hospital. But that's pretty subtle; all they really want to be sure of is that a potential physics major isn't flunking math.</p>
<p>Just to let you know, Midd doesn't have a pre-law program.</p>
