<p>Just to let y'all know, Brown doesn't have minors. </p>
<p>Hope that doesn't bust anyone's bubble.</p>
<p>T_T so sad... Will I be able to squeeze in another major if I do summer school?</p>
<p>Lots of Brown students have double concentrations. I bet if you did a search, you could find the percentage. Some can even do triple. It depends on how much breadth you want, how many requirements your concentration(s) has, and if you're willing to maybe take 5 courses a few times or a summer class, and how many prereqs you can pass out of with AP/IB credits. Double concentrating is definitely possible.</p>
<p>The two concentrations I'm thinking about (Biomedical Engineering and Biochemistry/ Molecular Biology) have 20 requirements each. However, they both require 2 Cal credits and Biostatistics, which I will be able to satisfy with my AP and Harvard Extension School credits. Some of their requirements are the same (e.g. organic and inorganic chem), so I might be able to somehow satisfy the 40 credits within 4 years.</p>
<p>Edit: I've heard about people doing double AB concentrations or one AB and another ScB, but I don't know of anyone who has done two ScB. Two ScB with an AB is practially unheard of. I'm willing to stand corrected.</p>
<p>Can I just ask what is wrong with concentrating in one and just taking some courses in the other? If you want to concentrate in both, I'll bet you could do it, but you'll miss out on so much. There are waaaay too many great classes here, and I can't imagine anyone would really only want to stick to 2 subjects, especially ones so closely related. Brown has an amazing course catalog which the new curriculum allows students to take advantage of. It's fine to be passionate about both Biomed eng. and Biochem, but I think you'll find that once you get here, double concentrating won't be as important to you as expanding the breadth of your knowledge.</p>
<p>MCM and Journalism. But only if I get in, because otherwise I won't be able to.</p>
<p>There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a single concentration. But biochem and biotech are very important to my future career. I would love to take some courses outside of science, but I just might not be able to.</p>
<p>My intended majors are absolutely different (NO overlap), so I'm getting a science/humanities education. Plus, I love them both.</p>
<p>taffy: maybe one of the brown students concentrating in science can give you some more info, but I would say that if a lot of the requirements for the majors overlap, the number of courses required is actually much less. Anyway, I'm sure you'll find out if/when you come. Bottom line: do what you want. Just because I think everyone should take random/useless classes doesn't mean you actually should.</p>
<p>Best Friggin School Ever</p>
<p>^^^^totally agree!</p>
<p>:D yayay :D</p>
<p>I think it's about time that this thread comes back to life! afterall...we're all applying to brown with high hopes ;)
anyone new to present himself?...or...why not know each other better?
come on you guys! :D</p>
<p>lol, well I change to public policy!</p>
<p>btw....have you got your apps about ready?...i still have tones of things to do!....or so it seems to me. taking the sat2s in oct...retaking the sat in nov(not much satisfied with my previous scores)...the list can go on.... :blush:</p>
<p>i hope to double major in philosophy and psychology... and take a bunch of classes in completely random subjects. lol
and btw, i really havent started my app, ive only done forms 1 and 1a, but all of my testing is done.</p>
<p>economics and biology (double concentration)</p>
<p>if i did the math right it will take 28 credits to get both 16 in bio and 12 in econ. you can correct me if i'm wrong. and it still leaves room for 4 fun classes while taking the normal course load.</p>
