2023 Pre-Medical Studies Students

STUDENTS

College can be an immensely revelatory period of one's life; it's a chance for personal growth and development. Undergraduates attempt to figure out what they are capable of and build the imperative skills to be a thriving adult. But learning is more than sitting in a classroom - the conversations one has with her schoolmates, the nugget of wisdom learned from a tenured instructor, the exposure to a different way of thinking. Therefore, attending a diverse college vastly enriches what you gain from your time spent at university.

Pre-Medical Studies is a less racially diverse subject than average*. 68% of the US' Pre-Medical Studies majors are white students, followed by asian students (11%), latino students (10%), and students of other races**(7%).

Additionally, Pre-Medical Studies significatly skews female, with 64% of students majoring in Pre-Medical Studies identifying as women. Boston University in Boston, MA has the most gender balanced student body in the top 100.

Another important type of diversity is economic diversity.
