Postbac Premed students come from a wide range of backgrounds. Some have already begun a career and are looking for more from their professional lives, others have been inspired by personal experiences to go into a medical field, and some seek the science education they didn’t take as an undergraduate.
Upon arriving on campus, Postbac Premed students have completed a rigorous undergraduate education, but have completed little to no premedical coursework; they are not looking for academic enhancement in their academic records. With determination, such students tend to find their encounter with Columbia’s intensive sciences curriculum and vibrant premedical community to be a rewarding and life-altering experience, as well as superb preparation for medical school.
