<p>I want to do something related to bio at college and since HM is well known in arenas like engineering, physics, math, if HM a good place to do bio? Also, does anyone know about the joint chem and bio program like how hard it is, what you learn, ect?</p>
<p>No wonder your S/N was familiar, I checked out your past posts and we both applied to Wellesley.</p>
<p>I read that you’re interested in premed, run far away from HMC if you really want to go to med school. HMC = GPA killer, ask RocketDA what his GPA is lol. And, GPA is a major factor in premed admissions…
</p>
<p>To tell you the truth, I am still deciding if i want to do pre-med. I guess the main question for me right now is if I want to put myself through thousands of dollars of debt, another decade of school, and a sacrifice in personal life to pursure medicine.</p>
<p>If I were to keep my options open and perhaps get a job after undergrad rather than take the med-school route, would harvey mudd provide ample preparation in bio? Or if I go to grad school?</p>
<p>Ha, I personally didn’t even consider going to medical school (medicine is a five-year undergraduate course in my country) because of the sheer amount of study. Makes my brain hurt thinking about it.</p>
<p>For graduate school, Harvey Mudd is great. Though HMC is better in other subjects, there are benefits common across all subjects like: Fantastic teaching, small classes, and widely available research opportunities. Many HMC bio students go on to PhDs, check out this link: [REED</a> COLLEGE PHD PRODUCTIVITY](<a href=“http://www.reed.edu/ir/phd.html]REED”>Doctoral Degree Productivity - Institutional Research - Reed College)</p>
<p>HMC is also excellent at professional placement. Employers worth their salt are ‘in the know’ about the tough grading. RocketDA, a senior at HMC, apparently has ‘job offers coming out his ass’ (quote from anonymous source. lol)</p>
