<p>Quick question from anyone who knows about this subject. How is CMU for say a Biology major in the Mellon College? Are the grades really difficult to get, is it a lot of time, etc.? What do medical schools think of CMU, especially since it is not necessarily known for its Biology major, but rather for fine arts or engineering?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Yeah...I have same the question like you, but I think CMU is not good for preparing med-school "superficially"; I mean some schools offer several information and advices about what kinds of courses stduents need to take in the undergraduate schools to get into a Med/Den/Pharm school, what kinds of internship are really googd for some graduate schools, what kinds of test you have to take, etc.
For example, one school offers pre-med program. An advisor will guide to a student about becoming a doctor or getting into medical school what courses need to take and how many credits need. So the advisor gives you a course lists: to go medical school -> Biology20&21 with lab/ Physics 11&12/ Chem 92&12 / writing seminar.......something like that.
So you can plan....in freshman year, "I need to take...this one and this one...."; in junior...... in senior....aftermath, you can get all credits or knowledge easily to become a medical school student (to summarize, a student can just follow the school program)</p>
<p>However, in case of CMU, I think you need to search yourself what courses that CMU offers are related with....this credit for going to med school........</p>
<p>CMU offers just natural fields of studies about science rather than about professional program such as pre-med/pre-law/pre-den/pre-pharm...</p>
