For generations of pre-med students, three things have been as certain as death and taxes: organic chemistry, physics and the Medical College Admission Test, known by its dread-inducing acronym, the MCAT.

The best kept secrets in the cutthroat world of medical school admissions is the Humanities and Medicine Program at the Mount Sinai medical school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and it doesn't require the MCAT.

P.S. I drew Jonathan Safran Foer as an example of a student who took part in this program. I chose him as a subject mainly because I have a crush on his writing. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, is one of my all time favorites and I love the visual way that he depicts writing!
