Hello!!
I was wondering if there were any pre-med students willing to answer a few questions I got:
Research...what's it like? how soon can you enter and is it actual research or is it basic learning lab techniques sort of things
Internships...Amherst has such a strong alumni network...I was wondering if it would be easy to get some sort of clinical research done outside of the school w/ an alumni; how can you utilize the alumni network as a pre-med
Publishing...since you make closer connections...does that mean getting your research published is more manageable?
What do ya'll do for clinical hours (since Amherst doesn't have a hospital)
How approachable are the pre-med classes (namely the hard ones like organic chem)
Unrelated to pre-med...I live in the South, so transportation to Amherst and back home for breaks would be a tad bit tedious...how do you guys tackle this issue, especially since Amherst doesn't have a designated bus/shuttle system like other?
Thank you very much!
