[the science curriculum] way over-prepared me, in a good way. I’m sure that there were questions that the MCAT could have thrown at me that I only would have been able to answer because I took specific classes with professors who taught at a distinguished level.”
Medical School Linkages
Medical school linkages can be a great way to put your medical education and career on the fast track. Students who are admitted to a medical school via a linkage can accelerate their enrollment by starting their medical studies in the term following completion of their post-baccalaureate program, thus bypassing the glide year.
A linkage is a special relationship between a post-baccalaureate premedical program and a medical school. The participating schools listed below have agreed to give Northwestern University premedicine students who qualify for admission the opportunity to enroll directly after finishing the requirements of the premedicine post-baccalaureate program.
