<p>One of the most important factors for a good premed program is a good advisory system. How involved are the advisors at MIT?</p>
<p>I don’t think any of the MIT students who frequent this board are premed. I’ll try and remember to ask one of my premed friends on Monday what her impressions of premed advising were.</p>
<p>Preprofessional advising information is [url=<a href=“http://web.mit.edu/career/www/preprof/]here[/url”>http://web.mit.edu/career/www/preprof/]here[/url</a>]. I’m sure they would be happy to answer any questions by email.</p>
<p>there are premed advisors here?</p>
<p>Yeah, premeds get assigned a normal faculty advisor as well as a premed advisor. Most are doctors at hospitals around the Boston area; the website says “MIT draws its advisors from many groups: MIT faculty, physicians at MIT Medical, MIT Dental, and the MIT-Harvard Health Sciences and Technology (HST) Program, and research affiliates from HST, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital.”</p>
<p>I’m assuming that the premed advising is pretty darn good, considering MIT gets about 80% of its premeds into med school. But I like to get students’ views about everything, and since there’s nothing about premed advisors on any of the mit blogs, CC seems like the next logical place to inquire ;)</p>
<p>You could try asking Melis – she’s premed, and I think she ought to have a premed advisor by now.</p>
