<p>I don’t know a great number of people in the sciences. I’m a prelaw person myself and have been since I stepped foot on the campus. It hasn’t decreased my enjoyment in it at all but then I have an interest in a variety of subjects the core satisfied very well. </p>
<p>I do know that a number of people I know come in here saying they’re going to premed. Then they spend a week or two in our chemistry classes. A lot change their minds in about a quarter. The chemistry classes here are really intense. That being said I know a lot of fourth years from last year who were all applying to med school and all of them got into several (whether or not those several were there first choices I don’t know). Judging from that I’m inclined to say that if you make it through Chicago’s program with decent grades you will get into a good med school. However, such a process might entirely kill your enjoyment of the school. A lot of the premeds I know are super competitive (compared with the pre law people and people who are undecided) and a portion of them seemed stressed a lot. But then, I know a few people who thrive on the competition and really seem to love it (my suite mate adores o-chem, I have no idea why). If you’re considering Chicago you might want to come visit (maybe attend some classes) and direct your questions to students actually involved in the sciences here.</p>
