How many students apply while at Wheaton?
A. Any given year, the number of students who apply during their junior year at Wheaton varies. There are a variety of reasons for this. Some students put off applying so that they can study for a semester of year abroad. Others take the time to make up a deficiency in some area of their application: lower science or cumulative GPA through a post-baccalaureate program, not enough experiences in a specific are of medically-related activities, research, volunteerism, community service, etc., the need to work, or just plain need some time away from school. Students should keep in mind that, over the last ten years, the average age of students entering medical schools is 24.
