I am currently a first-year Premedical student at Mercyhurst college. I have a contract major to try to concentrate my education into a human biology / neuroscience area.
After 2 terms (we have a trimester system, and i start my third term this year in 3 weeks) I am not really sure that I am in the right school. Don't get me wrong, I like Mercyhurst, but I just do not feel that they are concerned with academics as much as I am. I want to go to Pitt for med school for personal reasons, I am a 32 year old adult with a son in Pittsburgh.
While talking to one of my advisers, I was told that they have had only one student able to get into Pitt's medical program in the past. This really got me thinking about the education that I was receiving.
In short, does the University of Pittsburgh have a more aggressive education; and, what are the chances of getting into their medical program if you are already a student there? I would assume that the odds are much higher, but if anyone has personal experience.....
GPA - 4.0
age - 32
haven't really started any programs on the side or shadows.
