Good for you and yes I’m aware most schools offer pre-med advising. I was specifically talking about Pitt’s Honors program. It gives pre-med students a bump.

Pitt undergraduate students applying for admission to schools of the health professions are fortunate to have the benefit of a powerful multiplier effect in this regard. Each year, the University Honors College (UHC) convenes two subcommittees, each consisting of five faculty members from the Schools of Engineering and Arts & Sciences, who meet weekly for approximately 10 weeks beginning in mid-May to evaluate the students who are applying that year for admission to a Health Professional School and prepare a letter that is submitted along with the students’ credentials.
“Honors courses are highlighted in the committee letter,” explains UHC Director of pre-Health Professions Advising Andrea Abt. “The committee looks for evidence of a curious student, a life-long learner who will be able to seek out resources as a professional and apply this information to their practice. Our committee highly ranks candidates who enroll in honors courses where they demonstrate a depth of learning and passion toward subject material.” (As a footnote, she adds that “the letters of recommendation from instructors of Honors courses tend to be more personal due to the smaller class sizes and greater opportunity to interact with faculty”.)
