<p>Muir Is The Easiest!
I Recommend It. I'm In Muir :)</p>
<p>Mine:</p>
<p>Warren
Roosevelt
Muir
Revelle
Sixth
Marshall</p>
<p>If I want to study bioengineering, how should I rank the colleges?</p>
<p>Muir is likely the best.</p>
<p>for pre-med: non-engineering you should go for revelle</p>
<p>Warren. (Engineering)</p>
<p>What do you suggest for a humanities/polit sci/lit/journalism major who might be going into optometry school after.</p>
<p>what's the reasoning behind revelle for premed?</p>
<p>I'm doing Warren and I'm applying as a political sciences major.</p>
<p>When your at the last hour before turning in apps and you still have no idea, just put muir :)</p>
<p>I thought warren was math/engineering.</p>
<p>the college you choose has nothing to do with your major. All it determines is how many GEs you have to do, where you sleep on campus, and what goes on your diploma. Choose muir, you have less GEs to do and graduate faster. Revelle is suicide by the way. this is coming from current student</p>
<p>Oh, I meant it's more for math/engineering majors because the GEs overlap well.</p>
<p>that's exactly my pt, b/c if muir has less GEs, then why does almost every premed pick revelle?</p>
<p>There are requirements for getting into Med School, usually a lot of science requirements. So picking a college (assuming you want to go to a medical school) that has a bunch of writing GEs would be pointless because you'd have to take extra science classes to fill the reqs of med school. And that's why Revelle would be good I guess.</p>
<p>Oh btw, I don't know much about the colleges themself, after all I'm also asking questions. I just know the thinking behind choosing certain colleges.</p>
<p>So which college would give you a good exposure to writing/humanities/history/poli sci?</p>
<p>but i thought revelle's writing sequence was 5 quarters, whereas muir's was only 2 or something</p>
<p>Well like I said, I don't know much about the colleges themselves. I just kind of figure that was the reasoning behind it.</p>
<p>Revelle is basically perfect for the prospective med student:
1)It fully covers (surpasses, actually) the one year college English Requirements (HUM1-5)
Note: the English courses at the other colleges are often less than a year, so premeds at these colleges would have to take extra english classes. This would be sort of problematic for non-English majors because it means that one would have to have extra classes beyond one's own GE or major requirements.
Basically, Revelle College, despite its ostensibly difficult Humanities classes, is the perfect fit for premeds.
2) Science, Math (one year each for Revelle) They're all general med school requirements. So you kill two birds with one stone! :)
3) the only drawback might be the foreign lang. requirement, fine arts req. and the area of focus/minor requirement. Lucky for me I got a 760 in Korean so I just have to worry about the area of focus part and the minor fine arts req. The area of focus,I guess, is alright if you have a particular area of interest besides the major of course.
Ultimately, Revelle College = the best college for the serious premed student!
Note: Revelle due to its prestige is the most competitive after Muir(damn slackers! lol).
So that's where I'm going hopefully (damn 2000 SAT score won't be good enough for Revelle; I will retake in Dec.)</p>
<p>I know people who chose Revelle and regret it. If I were one of them, I would regret it as well. Revelle is one of the worst choices, in my opinion. The dorms are old, Plaza's food is bad, and the GEs are horrendous. Many people who chose Revelle heard vaguely about its "prestige." I've never encountered evidence that Revelle is more prestigious, and I've never seen anyone care. Perhaps med schools do, but no one else does.</p>
<p>first, does an AP test cover for the lang. req.? i don't think so, but could someone clarify?</p>
<p>also, would med schools actually care about which of the 6 colleges one comes from?</p>
