Loyola’s Pre-Med Track

Loyola’s Pre-Med Track

One of the reasons why I chose to attend Loyola was because of its good reputation on everything science-related. Since I aspire to become a doctor, I knew I was going down the right path when I was put into the Pre-Med (Pre-Health) track. This track requires students to enroll in specific courses to help them get into medical school and so on and so forth. These classes include: Biology, Organic Chemistry, Statistics, Psychology, Sociology, Physics, etc. Yes, these might seem like difficult, challenging classes (and yes, to me, some of them are hard), but they really help you prepare for the MCAT and ultimately allow you to develop a doctor-like mindset with medical terminology and talents.

If you are indecisive on what career to choose (with your Pre-med track), fear not! Loyola has a wonderful service in the Career Development Center that have a group of people solely dedicated to Pre-Health counseling. They can help guide you down your dream career by narrowing down your interests and abilities. Personally, I have met with them numerous times and they have successfully helped me out!

I understand that going down the medical field may be long, challenging, and tiring, it is truly worth it in the end. You simply must have the will-power and strength to carry yourself onward.
