<p>hey would any of you guys happen to know if Cornell has a biochemistry program like the one that UPenn has?? <a href="http://www.sas.upenn.edu/biochem/vspmls.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.sas.upenn.edu/biochem/vspmls.html</a></p>
<p>also....would you guys recommend Cornell for a major in Biochem or a related field?? and does Cornell have a research initiative program like MIT with its UROP program??</p>
<p>I'd appreciate any info you can give me =D</p>
<p>I looked at your link to Penn's Vagelos Scholars program, and it seems like an amazing opportunity. I don't know if Cornell has a similar program, but I suggest you e-mail your local (Florida?) admissions rep to inquire about it. Here's the link to find all of the links to the local admissions reps.

<p>You also might want to contact Cornell's own biochemistry department for answers <a href="http://www.bio.cornell.edu/academics/biochemistry.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.bio.cornell.edu/academics/biochemistry.html</a>. I believe you can enroll in CALS or CAS to major in biochem. </p>
<p>Cornell does offer a lot of undergraduate research opportunities, through formal programs, or though your own initiative with professors. One program is Cornell Presidential Research Scholars <a href="http://www.commitment.cornell.edu/CPRS/%5B/url%5D">http://www.commitment.cornell.edu/CPRS/</a>. As a matter of fact, former Cornell President Hunter Rawlings was just honored with the re-naming of the program in his honor. It is now called Hunter R. Rawlings III Cornell Presidential Research Scholars program. <a href="http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/June06/research.scholars.dea.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/June06/research.scholars.dea.html</a></p>
