<p>I think you should stop worrying about whether or not Pitt is good for bio or that you hope you’re not going to the wrong school for pre-med. It makes it sound like you were pushed into settling for Pitt and would much rather be going somewhere else, and even if it’s true, most of us on here are satisfied with choosing Pitt so we can’t really help you there. </p>
<p>You’re looking for reassurance that Pitt’s pre-med prepares for medical school. There are current Pitt premeds on this forum, but none are in medical school, so they can’t really say from personal experience how it has prepared them for medical school. </p>
<p>I actually once talked to a resident who did her undergrad at Pitt and she asked me “Does Dr. _____ still teach in Clapp Hall?” Apparently she thought this professor was a great instructor, but this was one of the professors I had wanted to avoid because the ratings on RMP were so caustic. When I told her this she laughed and said, “That’s because _____ actually makes people work.” So, part of it is all relative. </p>
<p>My opinion on why many of the bio and chem instructors get bad reviews is that it’s most freshmen’s introduction to the pre-med culture, which sucks. People get annoying, the labs are tedious, and everyone wants to know which bits of information are going to be tested on.</p>
