Jeffrey, B.S. Biology, ’10 | Tufts University School of Medicine (MD/MPH)

Because of the educational model that NU utilizes, I was able to participate in co-op and get involved in activities that most traditional students can’t without taking time off after. So for me, NU’s unique educational model really contributed to me being happy with my decision.

Katy, B.S. Mechanical Engineering, ’10 | Wake Forest Medical School

If medicine is what you truly want to do, don’t let anything get in your way. I would make a plan about how I wanted to proceed with the application and stick to it! If you want to take a gap year, do it! I found that at all of my interviews, the interviewers were excited to hear about my upcoming plans and wanted to talk about them.

Laura, B.S. Chemical Engineering, ’12 | Harvard School of Dental Medicine

The cooperative education program was the most instrumental to my success.

These skills are invaluable and will be essential for my future career.

Michael, BS Health Science, ’10 | Dr. William Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine

Each residency is unique in that they have special emphasis depending on where your residency is completed. As I have been exposed to more aspects of Podiatric Medicine, my current interests include reconstructive foot and ankle surgery and sports medicine. However, I have gained a strong interest in pediatric podiatry, diabetic wound care, and limb salvage

Paulina, Health Science, ’23

Getting into medical school takes a lot of time and effort, both in school and outside of school; I think before anyone decides to pursue this path they should really ask themselves if one, they are willing to put in the time and work it takes, and two, if they think that their hard work will pay off in the future.
