<p>Okay, i faced with a number of dilemmas here: USC v UCB, business v. med, etc
but this is the USC forum so one problem at a time.
I was accepted in the the Marshall School of Business but am also consider transfering to letters and sciences to do pre med. I haven't decided between which career path.
Is it possible/not insanely difficult to complete the Marshall requirements for a B.B.A. as well as the pre med requirements and still have a good chance of success medical school?</p>
<p>Pros:
USC's business school is moderately good
Accepted into the Global Leadership Program, which is very appealing
If i fail to get into med school, i have a back up career (i can see myself doing both)</p>
<p>Cons:
I might not graduate in time or spread myself thin and fail to get a great business or pre med education</p>
<p>Can any current USC students shed light on how hard pre med or how hard marshall is? or if any current USC students know of someone doing this track?</p>
<p>USC has a Natural Science Minor that covers all of the required pre-med classes which will fit nicely with your business degree and prepare you for the MCAT. Yes…Marshall and science classes will be challenging.</p>
<p>it can be done. few pre-med students do stay double majors through graduation, but those who do are thankful!</p>
<p>GLP is AWESOME! (i was and still am very involved with the program)</p>
<p>and marshall classes are indeed difficult. marshall students aren’t as cutthroat as pre-med students are (much more collaborative and practical in those regards).</p>
<p>you will most likely need to do at least one summer of classes in order to fulfill both majors, just a heads up</p>
<p>you don’t need to do two majors. being pre-med won’t be like taking on another major. you’ll just be doing a minor. you were accepted to marshall. i think you’re capable of majoring in business admin and taking on a minor (natural science).</p>
<p>thanks for the reply guys! they were really helpful; but I am having doubts of my own ability to pull this off. </p>
<p>The only thing is that the minor doesn’t really overlap with the major, so that might make things more difficult</p>
<p>Can anyone comment on the grading distributions of marshall (marshall curve i heard of) and of the pre-med classes?</p>
<p>With this schedule will i have time to go abroad (and preferably complete my classes) at the same time?</p>
