Bioeng pre med

<p>can i still go to graduate school for bioengineering if i do bioeng premed at ucsd?</p>

<p>yes, although bioengineering pre med is not ABET accredited, this only means that you cannot go into industry right after undergrad. However, you can still go to grad school for bioE and then become a bioengineer if you want to</p>

<p>oOooo bleh. what can i do with a pre-med degree?</p>

<p>go to med school lol</p>

<p>bleh ah!!!!!</p>

<p>I posted this in another thread earlier. So I'm just going to copy paste. </p>

<p>I was in a similar position. I applied under bioengineering: pre-med, and I would like a full engineering degree. There is a simple solution to this. I looked up the classes that I would need for a bioengineering:biotech (that aren't included in pre-med) degree, and I'm planning on taking them as well as the pre-med classes. Granted, you won't have the paper that says you majored in biotech, but you can still list the classes on your resume, and you still have the knowledge and experience. The only downside that I see is that it's harder, and it may take longer to graduate. But it is a solution that allows you to explore your options and get internships as well as be able to get a job in industry if your med degree falls through, or you changed your mind.</p>

<p>My dad works in the CS industry, and he's constantly interviewing people for positions on his team. He told that what he (and most other employers) look for in an applicant isn't their school or what major they did. He looks at volunteering, research, and internships. He asks the applicant about those things to see if he understands what his role was as well as the big picture. The knowledge and the experience of the applicant are much more important to him than whether they majored in CS (impacted) or something like Applied Mathematics (not impacted). That transfers to all kinds of industry, not just computers. </p>

<p>There are options, if you look for them and are persistent. What you can do with a pre-med degree depends mostly on you.</p>
