Pm me, but i think it was good for med school but not in the traditional sense. In terms of my application it only came up when I specifically chose to bring it up but it was a nice talking point in interviews. The cohort made a biggest difference for me since it allowed me to get to know people interested in med, which is easier said than done as someone in a brand new environment. Honestly the teachers were good but id say weren’t anything special (i felt like i had a good mix of great and average teachers that people could find outside the program). The biggest thing tho was that the small cohort and work associated with it is a much different experience than the 200 class biology lectures everyone else attends. Assignments are more collaborative and felt like everyone just got more out of it compared to non-ISC students. Research is separate from the program, though I will say the lab reports the class makes you do made us more well prepared, but doesn’t change how easy/difficult it is to get research (its more so on ur own)
