I've searched many threads, but could not find a recent one.
I heard the college went through many changes recently.
How is premed now? It looks like in the past, some had negative feelings about premed (Example: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/868752-typical-gpa-of-a-first-year-university-of-chicago-pre-med.html)
"There's nothing at Chicago that makes the school "pre-med friendly." The pre-med advising is solid, yes there is a bit of a GPA boost (0.1, roughly), but, well... Med school requirements are hard enough as it is, before you drop the challenge of a Chicago core curriculum on top of everything. Of course, if you're intent on a great liberal arts education, by all means, Chicago may be the best in the business at this. If your intent is to try and go to a top top medical school, I don't really see what advantage Chicago offers over Dartmouth, Brown, etc."
"the same time, my friends, especially the scant couple who got into top top medical schools, feel they gained admission "in spite of" rather than "facilitated by" the structure present at Chicago"
So how has premed changed at UChicago recently? Is it still very difficult with harsh grading? I personally would hate being stuck in the library 24/7 studying so is UChicago premed not for me?
