@bost0n Hi! I’m an undergrad student at Northeastern and 3 of my roommates are pre-med. They’ve found the classes interesting while challenging, and the co-op opportunities for those in the health/medical field are FANTASTIC. You are able to work at top level hospitals and engage in really great research. I know someone who is co-oping at Mass Gen Hospital and is working there through the CV pandemic. My roommate was able to get a 3-year long internship at a the Harvard Dana Farber Cancer Research Center. I also work for undergraduate admissions at NU as my on-campus job, and our “stats” of students getting into med school are actually 20 percentage points higher than the national average (passing the MCAT). There are also really great clubs and organizations on campus for pre-med students, as the pre-med community is quite large. Most students do 3 co-ops in 5 years of 2 co-ops in 4 years. Generally, pre-med students choose to do 2 co-ops in 4 years since they will have many many years of med school afterward. But keep in mind you don’t have to do a co-op, or you can do just one! Since my roommate scored that awesome internship with Harvard, she decided to only do one co-op during her time. So it’s totally up to you!
In terms of deciding between the 3 schools, all are great choices! It may depend on what you want in terms of campus, if you want to be in the city, whether you want to do co-op, etc. Northeastern can be STEM heavy and has lots of great opportunities within STEM, but also a vibrant humanities/social sciences group of students (I am one).
Hope this helps!
