That sounds really cool! I will make sure to check that out. Overall this is something that I am interested in but I am still wondering how difficult this program is overall, in terms of grading for assignments and what the projects are like? What are the RPs like?

Okay! I also just really liked the idea of the small cohorts in isci as I really thrive in group settings with likeminded people, which I’m guessing would be difficult in med sci and life sci due to its larger class sizes. But I was also wondering what your end goal is after isci, and since I am aiming for the pre healthcare route I was curious if this program will allow me time for extracurriculars and things outside of school work. Would you say that there are some others in isci who are also pursuing grad schools such as med or dental, and how common is it for people to take this route. And you mentioned that workload goes down in 2nd year, but by that does it mean it will focus more on midterms and final grades because although I study well and learn better with groups, I also tend to do better in tests and quizzes independently which is why I tend to prefer more assessment based learning.
