<p>how is the biophysics program at penn..as in is it an over or underrepresented major? i am planning to indicate that as my intended major.</p>
<p>-thanks!</p>
<p>probably pretty f**kin hard</p>
<p>A few of my friends are biophysics majors. There are definitely not that many of them, probably less than 15 a year. It is a great program though and there are a ton of great research opportunities though the physics department or in other departments like engineering, chemistry, or at the hospital. It is a very rigorous major, it has the most major requirements of any major in the college I think, including the orgo and junior electromagnetism sequence for physics majors. However graduates are very successful. I know one doing a PhD at Harvard, one at Stanford, one who will be doing an MD PhD at Harvard, and two going to Hopkins for med school among others.</p>
<p>thanks for the info poeme :]</p>
