<p>You're in.....for sure</p>

<p>Wow thanks. I'm OOS, so are you still sure? </p>

<p>Also I want to major in journalism but take the premed courses. That's possible right?</p>

<p>I didn't think we had a journalism major...</p>

<p>Hold on I'll check.</p>

<p>There's a 'communication studies'</p>

<p>You are most likely in, but apply soon. Also, keep in mind that Canadians, like all international students, face incredibly poor odds of getting into US Medical schools. This said, Michigan does not have a Journalism program as such. However, Michigan does have a small but improving Communications program and has produced someof the best writers in the country. Furthermore, when it comes to pre-med, Michigan is actually very strong...assuming you are willing to put in the time and effort.</p>

<p>Most Definitely In</p>

<p>You're the first person besides me I've seen that wants to major in journalism but go for pre-med. Journalism geeks unite! ;)</p>

<p>Success. But you probably have done more in terms of journalism than me. I just want to do it because I want to write.</p>
