<p>Hi guys. i have recently been admitted to some colleges i was hoping to get in to and those schools are known for business and medical. I need help to decide which one is better. Please justify your answer.</p>
<p>thanks in advance!!!</p>
<p>If you like medicine, study pre med.</p>
<p>If you like business study business.</p>
<p>If you like money, still study pre med.</p>
<p>^ if you really really really like money, study business.</p>
<p>BTW, why do you want to study business and medicine?</p>
<p>If you really, really like money and want to be almost guaranteed that money*, study pre med. </p>
<p>You will always have a job and your earnings will not be tied to the cycles of the economy.</p>
<p>*If you get to med school that is.</p>
<p>Yeah just get a MD/MBA, btw how hard is it go get into one of those programs right out of college? And do business schools over look the work experience requirement b/c you'd be in med school for the first three years?</p>
<p>Very Hard, youre supposed to work before you enter the program</p>
<p>BTW, its pretty much pointless.</p>
<p>@victorwega: i want to study those cause they are basically great jobs with great salaries...</p>
<p>^ ok, but you can't do everything. At some point you will need to choose a career path.</p>
<p>Do it like me...
Major in Business and fulfill Pre-Med courses, then go to Med school and start your own practice.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>^from what I understand (from the pre-med forums) doing a vocational major like business hurts your chances for med school...just sayin.</p>
<p>You may find you're able to do both through double majors or minors.
Most of my premed friends were completed with the necessary requirements by junior year. They merely had to finish their biology, chem or psych major requirements. Most business programs are concentrated in your junior and senior year.</p>
<p>Well actually i'm in the exact same situation !!! (sort of)
I'm in Qatar and both Cornell (Weill Medical College) and Carnegie Mellon (Tepper Business + SCS) have branch campuses here. I've done a year in cornell (they have a 2 year non-degree premed and then u apply to medical school). I found the cornell program reallyyy hard and i'm having doubts about whether medicine is what what i should do. I have both schools hanging in there, and i can't even study for my MCATs in case i decide to go to cornell. Plus, cornell isnt a 100% deal because i have to apply to med school and im kind of a borderline candidate (i can take an extra year in premed and improve my GPA and apply the following year to med school).. </p>
<p>So, even though i think i would love business (MIS), i still feel that i might just regret not choosing medicine at some later point in my life. .. </p>
<p>I can't make a decision :(</p>
<p>Do what u want to do is what i hear from others :S</p>
<p>for pre-med does each class you take have to have a lab??</p>
<p>that's like my situation. However, to my understanding, even pre-med is much harder than a business undergraduate degree. Medical school of course is even harder.</p>
