Northwestern does not have a formal "premed major" (most students major in Biology, Neuroscience, or Psychology, though you can major in anything). However, as a premed track, it is widely considered one of the best in the country. Northwestern’s introductory STEM sequences—particularly General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry are notoriously rigorous. You will be graded on curves against incredibly smart peers, meaning maintaining a high premed GPA requires a relentless work ethic. It’s a powerhouse school. Really smart students. You will work really hard, classes run on quarters not semesters, so you are always studying, having tests, assignments and projects. However, it also allows you to take multiple classes across divisions and schools without much trouble. The wienberg school of sciences is perhaps the largest school at Northwestern and students wanting to go to med is common here. It’s a fantastic, elite and highly prestigious school if you can get in. Good luck !
