“I looked all over the country and it became clear that Bryn Mawr had one of the best programs. I knew that I needed a reputable program because I didn’t want a medical school admissions committee to have any doubts about the quality of my basic science education. Bryn Mawr also has one of the most robust consortial programs. The opportunity to go to medical school a year earlier and to have a leg up on the general application process was extremely attractive.”

After college, Cale founded Healing Waters, a nonprofit organization that leads people with terminal illnesses on wilderness trips. After seven years as its executive director, Cale remained active on its board while attending Bryn Mawr.
“Bryn Mawr has a lot of great medical school linkage opportunities, and that was important to me. I’m a little older than the average medical student, and I’d already had a lot of other experiences, so I didn’t think the glide year would be productive. The consortial option enabled me to go right into a great medical school, and I am very happy about my decision.”
