<p>I'm really considering entering this major by the middle of my freshman year (i'm undeclared and engineering is impacted), but I'm nervous about how competitive the program is. If i choose to do this program, does anybody have any advice on how to deal with the courseload, and how will this affect me? i don't want to be studying 24/7, and i'm also wondering if there are any other good premed majors with minimal emphasis on humanities. Thanks</p>
<p>I am Biomedical Engineering: Premed.</p>
<p>I don't study 24/7 but my courseload is on the very high side compared to my peers (First year basically math/physics/chem/writing every quarter).</p>
<p>I think it is pretty competitive. If you went undeclared just to avoid being rejected from an impacted major, don't major in BME. Major in it if you are confident in your science skills. </p>
<p>If you are smart and smart with time management, any courseload under 20 units won't keep you studying all the time. I had plenty of time to socialize and I actually studied less than some of the bio majors in my hall. The most time consuming classes will be your writing class which you have to take regardless of major anyways.</p>
<p>Other easier premed majors which will help you for MCATs and what not are bio and chem.</p>
<p>What's MCAT?</p>
<p>Huey, It's the Medical College Admission Test, check it out on Wikipedia if you're interested in Medical School.</p>
<p>On the slim slim slim chance that you don't go what Wikipedia is, type in [url=<a href="http://www.wikipedia.org%5DWikipedia%5B/url">http://www.wikipedia.org]Wikipedia[/url</a>] in your web browser, and then type "MCAT" in the search box.</p>
<p>Hey ShoeFactory are the writing classes hard cause i am not good at English??</p>
<p>yeah, they're hard, but then again English is my worst subject. I also blame it on my bad luck as far as instructors go.</p>
<p>They're the only classes i've gotten less than an A in so far. Best advice for that class is to not procrastinate and follow assignment prompts very closely.</p>
