How is Pre Med Environment at RU?

<p>Is it cut throat? Are the classes challenging, or are some impossible? (I’m not asking if it is hard, but are professors sometimes just unfair?). Resources? Research opportunities? Thank you.</p>

<p>well i think the best way to answer all your questions about the pre med environment at rutgers is to attend rutgers during their academic planning and advising days. nationally, 45% of applicants (total applicants would be 355k) get the opportunity to enter medical school. at rutgers, 60% of their students who applied are admitted into a medical school. and of course, there will be more competitive applicants than others which makes students have that “cut-throat” competitive feel but overall from what I’ve seen… its a friendly environment.</p>

<p>The health professions office at Rutgers ([index.gif](<a href=“Error Page”>http://hpo.rutgers.edu/)</a>) provides pre-med students with an abundance of resources which ultimately help them get into medical school. I encourage you to check them out, and give them a call if you have specific questions.</p>
