<p>What is the best, most renowned major at Wake?</p>
<p>And assume im a premed now. What is the best major for a premed?</p>
<p>Answer both plzzzzz
and provide detalles.</p>
<p>You can be a predmed major and do whatever you want. I have known History majors, Mathematical Economics majors, English majors, and then the traditional Biology/Chemistry majors. The argument for choosing some Liberal Arts or non-science is that it helps distinguish you from the rest of the applicants applying. Do what you are interested in doing, because that will yield the highest grades/make you the happiest.</p>
<p>I think Wake’s best program is its Accountancy program. We have the highest first time passing rate for the CPA Exam in the nation for 4 consecutive years. The Business school is really competitive and known for it’s GPA deflation…</p>
<p>Calloway is pretty up there for the undergraduate school. On the Liberal Arts side, the Political Science department is pretty good too. They have a couple well published professors, and in general, it tends to be the most popular major.</p>
<p>Religion department is pretty solid, there is a good number of mixed graduated/undergraduate classes. I am taking a seminar right now that is half/half, and it’s pretty interesting.</p>
<p>Wake has a lot of great departments. Our business school is pretty much amazing. I know our psychology & political science departments are particularly impressive. I’ve heard good things about other departments too, but those are the ones I have experienced first hand. </p>
<p>The best route for a pre-med student would be to do a chemistry minor or major and and bio minor or major. When you’re a pre-med student at Wake, after you complete the pre-med curriculum you will only be one Chemistry class away from a minor. I know people who are English, psychology, Spanish, etc majors who are pre-med though.</p>
<p>pinkcupcake, Speaking about those on a premed track. How hard is it to get a 3.5 coming out of Wake pre-med. I read somewhere that a lot of professors don’t like to hand out A’s or B’s much and it is tough to attain a stellar GPA. Anyone have inside knowledge about this?</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m one of those kids who was pre-med, did a bio major, and did a chem minor precisely for the reason that pinkcupcake mentioned. In fact, the final chem course I took in order to fulfill the minor was actually cross-listed, so I got credit toward my major and my minor. But pinkcupcake is also right that you can major in anything and still be pre-med. In the end, you’ll get your best grades if you’re majoring in what you’re really interested in.</p>
<p>With regard to grades, I definitely worked hard, but I never felt like it was too much. I always thought that I was graded fairly at Wake. You’ve sometimes got to go above and beyond to get an A, but I think it’s always definitely possible.</p>
<p>are you in med school now? If so where are you at?</p>
<p>I am in medical school now. I graduated from Wake in 2008 and went straight to medical school, so I’m just about to finish my second year.</p>

<p>I don’t know too much about GPAs and the premed track, but I know people who are failing organic chemistry … and I also know people with A’s. It really depend how much you “get” the material and how hard you work at it … some people are getting straight A’s in their pre-med courses and struggling with basic courses in other subjects. It really just depends, but hard work always pays off :)</p>
