Meet one-on-one with advisors who can help you plan your classes, applications and next steps toward medical school.

Avery Dooley, double major, chemistry and biochemistry
"The close-knit atmosphere of the Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physics helped me build lifelong friendships and a strong support system. The individualized attention in classes allowed me to thrive, and the academic rigor prepared me well for the challenges of medical school. My time in the lab gave me the skills and confidence to pursue research beyond graduation, an experience I’ll carry with me throughout my career in medicine."

Matthew Schell, cancer and medicinal biochemistry
"From my very first semester, I wasn’t just washing glassware; I was designing and executing full protocols in cancer biology alongside graduate students and professors. Rather than following a script, I was trusted to think critically, troubleshoot and make meaningful contributions. That early responsibility sparked a level of collaboration and growth I never expected as a freshman, and it continues to shape how I approach medical science and teamwork today."

Thomas LaFave, double major, chemistry and biochemistry
"Doing research in the Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physics taught me to think like a scientist and problem-solver. I learned to approach challenges methodically, stay patient through setbacks and critically evaluate evidence — skills that directly translate to medical practice. More than anything, it gave me the confidence to lead, collaborate and grow into the physician I aspire to become."
