<p>I want to go with a pre-med track. I applied to college of arts and sciences, is this a good choice?
Or should I have applied agriculture and life sciences? What do they mean by life sciences? What are good majors for pre-med? Is it even possible for school switching after admitted? How about changing majors?</p>
<p>I'm curious too... however, I've already applied to CALS. Any answers would be much appreciated :-).</p>
<p>Which one's better for pre-med track, CAS or CALS? , please rate</p>
<p>i'm not too sure about which is better, but i'm also on the pre-med track and i was accepted ED to CAS, and i'm majoring in chem. </p>
<p>but now that the question has come up, i would too like to know...</p>
<p>I'm doing Bio at CALS next yr, I'm pre-med too</p>
<p>All I'd know is that my mom and aunt were both premeds and both went to CALS.</p>
<p>I don't think either one is "better", but I have talked to a few physicians about it, and they recommended CAS because you are able to take classes in a wider range of areas. They said it's good to do that, and that you should save the 24/7 science stuff for med school. </p>
<p>Then again, I think we've all heard the whole speech how it's best to do what you're good at...so, yeah, neither is better.</p>
<p>Cornell's biology department is under the auspices of both the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.</p>
<p>The difference between doing pre-med at once versus the other relates more to the courses you will take beyond the eight you need as specific prerequisites for medical school.</p>
<p>i want to major in Biology & Society at CALS which is a mixture of humanities and sciences as required classes so i can still take a variety of classes while fulfilling the pre-med prerequisites</p>
<p>Below is an excerpt from Cornell's Health Careers website. I have pasted the link below. If you read the FAQ, it will answer a lot of your questions. </p>
<p>A student in any undergraduate college at Cornell may enroll in the courses required for entry into medical college or another health professional school. Traditionally, Cornell undergraduate applicants to medical school have enrolled in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Engineering, and the College of Human Ecology. These colleges offer majors that enable students to prepare for medical school, and we find no differences in admission rates for students from these four colleges who have equivalent academic credentials. The appropriate choice of undergraduate college depends to a great extent on your other academic and career interests. Consult the University's publications for information about the seven colleges at Cornelltheir distribution requirements, majors and course descriptions. </p>
