Can I do Pre-Med at SEAS?

Colleges & Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>I know pre-med is not a major, but with there courses can I do pre-med at the SEAS. I thought it did since they have so many science and math courses which is ESSENTIAL for pre-med.</p>

<p>BTW I'm applying to SEAS since it's ED admit rate is 33% a good 10% higher than the 23% Columbia College ED admit rate. I want to have the best chance of getting into Columbia University, my Ivy League Dream School. Also because I love Science and Math. I know I'll have to do some Engineering Course if I do pre-med there and I need a high GPA to get into a good Medical School, BUT I'll definetley be able to handle it since my main strenghths are both Math and Science.</p>

<p>So can anyone answer my question?</p>

<p>Wow, reading your prose makes me dizzy.</p>

<p>Shaheiruddin–it’s possible that everyone on the board figured you would check the SEAS website, which gives the information (it took me two minutes to find it.)</p>

<p>Research skills will be vital in your engineering/pre-med education. I don’t mean that as criticism, but helpful advice in order to make your education work for you, and share discussions with others that help you get the answers you need.</p>

<p>thx lol THANK GOD I CAN DO PRE-MED AT SEAS LOL! Thx a lot</p>

<p>“BTW I’m applying to SEAS since it’s ED admit rate is 33% a good 10% higher than the 23% Columbia College ED admit rate. I want to have the best chance of getting into Columbia University, my Ivy League Dream School”</p>

<p>this is silly, there’s no reason to assume a lower acceptance rate will get you in easier, it’s well known that engineering schools have systematically higher acceptance rates, because applicant pools are self selecting. </p>

<p>A couple of years back when seas and CC disclosed admissions statistics separately, the seas entering class had higher average sat scores and a higher % of students in the top 10% of their high schools class. On balance I don’t think one is easier to get into than the other.</p>

<p>Any advantage you might get from applying to one or the other (and I’m close to certain there’s none), is greatly outweighed by you not applying to the right school and appearing a misfit. Apply to seas if you want to study engineering/applied physics,math and a little liberal arts on the side. Apply to the college for anything else.</p>

<p>Honestly applying as a science major to the college might make your chances better than seas, but this too would be negligible as no major declaration is binding.</p>

<p>no, but im really science and math biased with a pretty well rounded in humanities</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Oh, I don’t know about that.</p>

16

<p>lol sorry karot, i was just typing extremely fast lmao</p>

17

<p>It’s okay, excitement is understandable. But, why would you want do Pre-Med in SEAS? If GPA is going to be a major factor on your med-school app, would it be better to apply for a program that has a better grade cushion?</p>

18

<p>lol i was typing extremely fast sorry lol lmao</p>

19

<p>I know what you mean, but my strenghts are really biased on math and science so the seas will probably help my GPA. thx for the advice thought. Also because Columbia University is my dream school and Seas fits me perfectly.</p>

<p>You should have someone whose first language is english proofread your application before you send it in.</p>
