Class of '11: College Majors

<p>So I'm going to college next fall and I'm WAYY excited...but I have absolutely no idea what I'm majoring in. </p>

<p>Pre-med....yes!</p>

<p>Aspiring author...why, yes!</p>

<p>I'm going in with a Biomedical Engineering Major with a Writing minor as of now (That will most likely change between now and September)</p>

<p>How about everyone else?</p>

<p>I’m going in as undeclared, but I kind of want to do graphic design with a minor in French (maybe).</p>

<p>Undeclared. . .maybe a Comm major. . .and gonna intern ALOT at the LA Times or other news outlets next year. . .</p>

<p>OOPS. I forgot I’m a 2010er. D:</p>

<p>Lemon, how long can you stay undeclared?</p>

<p>Do you just take like gen req courses? </p>

<p>I want to stretch it out as long as possible so that I can figure out what I want to do!</p>

<p>^^You crack me up. :p</p>

<p>I completed an intershipish thing, and it eliminated most of my confusion on this topic.</p>

<p>I want to study engineering on a professional track, probably civil or mechanical though electrical is also possible. If it is offered, I would strongly consider geological or petroleum engineering.</p>

<p>I’m interested in taking extra statistics courses, possibly leading to a minor.</p>

<p>I like my AP credits.</p>

<p>Thank you BryDee. :P</p>

<p>Pakistanigir: Two years. . .and yes, I just take regular gen ed/req classes, but some classes I woudl really like to take are accessible to certain majors only. . . . I gotta choose a major soon though. . . :o</p>

<p>Well, I’m actually trying to graduate early, so I think I’ll have to solidify my decisions really early.</p>

<p>imagination, Yeah I’m definitely into Stat, that’s one of my more interesting math courses. But I’d rather do a minor in calc if I were to do it in any math.</p>

<p>And yesss AP Credits ftw, entering sophomore :)</p>

<p>I’m listed as a French major, but I really want to change it to either Film/Media Arts or Theater.</p>

<p>But I want to do a combination of all three. Minor in two and major in one.</p>

<p>I am majoring in mathematics, but as everyone knows, things can easily change in college. I am also doing the premed requirements though.</p>

<p>I’m doing a Bio or Economics major with Pre-Med, but I’m thinking I want to Major in Economics and have a History major or minor.</p>

<p>Ehhh I applied as an Electrical or Computer Engineering major for all my schools.
So we’ll see how that goes.</p>

<p>I like a lot of other stuff too, though. Like Politics, Foreign Languages, Communications-type stuff…</p>

<p>

You can’t really do a minor in calculus, but a math minor with mostly analysis electives would be the same basic idea. Though high school calc isn’t necessarily representative of college-level math.</p>

<p>I like stats because the material is interesting in and of itself while maintaining a great deal of practical utility.

Word.</p>

<p>I’m set on Computer Science. I’ve done some programming and think that practical CS is just fascinating. I have barely seen any theory, though. Big O notation and something about P and NP… oh no</p>

<p>Linguistics is also fascinating, but I don’t think I could ever find a job with a BA (or even PhD) in linguistics except with some military/homeland security department or a private contractor, which would be morally objectionable. (And even that’s assuming I knew enough Arabic/Pashto/some W Asian language spoken by Muslims.) So I’d like to tack linguistics on as a double major; I’ve been imbibing linguistics info for years anyway. Computational linguistics sounds good, can I do that without a MS?</p>

<p>I officially hate scrolling down in this thread.</p>

<p>I’m doing something in the social sciences or humanities. Right now it’ll probably be a dual degree in Political Science and International Relations with a minor in German if possible, but I’m also interested in Psychology, Anthropology, Linguistics, English, History, or other foreign language. (Wide spread I know. haha)</p>

<p>OP is an idiot for majoring in biomedical engineering and doing pre-med. Good luck getting into med school with your deflated GPA due to one of the toughest majors.</p>

<p>I’m same as Sophistry - CpE. Man, we have a lot in common b/w ECE and Craig Ferguson haha.</p>

<p>I’ll almost certainly major in neuroscience, and in 2016 publish a mildly popular novel (…among liberal arts college professors) that I will use as evidence to the insignificance of my life.
I’m typically very, very good at predicting about how my life will turn out. Self-fulfilling prophecies and such.</p>

<p>SLightManifesto is right. In med school GPA matters a lot. Anything less than a 3.7 and you have no chances. Biomediacal is a tough tough major.On top of the tough pre-med courses, get ready for a near-suicidal 4yrs.</p>

<p>As of right now, (this will most likely change) I wanna major in mathmatics, and if possible also major/minor in chemistry. They’re the two things I really, generally enjoy doing no matter how much they frustrate me. I want to do pre-med too though so we’ll see how this goes.</p>

<p>Neurobiology, premed.</p>
