I went to HC many years ago whenChemistry
I went to HC many years ago when it was still an all male institution. It did not have the preppy feeling then.The science preparation for medical school was excellent. The most important thing one learns at HC is the need to do the right thing for society. Use your intelligence at its highest level for the best benefit of society in general. You do not learn this in any one classroom, you learn it from the nature of the institution. Ask any graduate who has been out in the world for about 10 years and you will hear the same. HC grads do the right thing in life because it is right.

Question
I believe coming to this school was theBrightPreMed and Medical
I believe coming to this school was the worst decision of my life. I have gone from High School hero to a zero. The campus is filled with nerds and ugly girls. Its cold and you are isolated on a hill to a minute campus with about only 2800 students. It is not called Holy Hell for nothing. My life back in my home town was great; since coming here I despise my very existence. Do not come here.

Question
Holy Cross is a well-connected and respected college.Biology
Holy Cross is a well-connected and respected college. Prepare to work harder than you have ever worked in your life. The Pre-Med program is more challenging than any graduate-level work you will encounter. For those still in high school, take as many AP classes as possible, volunteer and get involved in your school and community.
