<p>harvard has law and yale has medical but what about columbia ??? any replies are appreciated</p>
<p>political science</p>
<p>law and med are both graduate programs (I guess there's pre-law and pre-med, but medical school and law school are graduate programs)</p>
<p>There's a list of the most popular majors somewhere. But I think it's econ then political science then history.</p>

<p>Um, not sure where you pulled your post out of and where you're going with this... FWIW, Harvard has the #1 med school in the nation and Yale has the #1 law school in the nation.</p>

<p>There's no such thing as pre-law or pre-med as majors at top schools.</p>
<p>well excuse me for not knowing everything</p>
<p>I just know that medical school and law school aren't typically undergrad.</p>

<p>They're never undergrad in the US, unless you count ugrad+grad joint programs.</p>
<p>you're both saying the same thing</p>
<p>He's right as to what's outside the parenthetical. But that's inside the parenthetical should be corrected.</p>

<p>Since Columbia 2002 was posting here thought you might need a little help!</p>
<p>Columbia does have a law school. Here's a link to their admissions area: <a href="http://www.law.columbia.edu/jd_applicants%5B/url%5D">http://www.law.columbia.edu/jd_applicants</a></p>
<p>Columbia does have a medical school. <a href="http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/dept/ps/%5B/url%5D">http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/dept/ps/</a></p>
<p>There are specific courses you must take for med school but you can major in anything you want and just take those courses. However, Columbia has something that many Universities do not have. </p>
<p>I guess Columbia 2002 did not know about this. This is why you question does make a lot of sense. I'm sorry she put you down for your question, but hey, she did that to me, too. That's why I looked on this site. She got it totally wrong with my question, too.</p>
<p>What Columbia has is a fifth year. It's is an undergraduate year if you majored in something that didn't get you the required courses for medical school. For example if you were a poli-sci major, the most popular major and thought you were going to law school and changed your mind and decided to go to medical school you could take the fifth year, undergrad medical school courses required for admission to medical school.</p>
<p>My brother has a room mate that is doing that. Columbia 2002 actually said, "and we should care about your brother why?" I don't get her really.</p>
<p>Sorry, to mention my brother it makes Columbia 2002 mad. Maybe she dated my brother, I don't know.</p>
<p>Anyway, go to the School of General Studies for the fifth year pre-medical school program at Columbia.</p>
<p>So tonight I'll get the pre-med courses which are basically organic, inorganic, bio I and II, calculus, it's not that much really. not enough to blow having a really cool columbia major.</p>
<p>sorry to use this thread but i have a related question. Is it too late to go premed your junior year? is there any way to fit in the required courses in two years (with hard work of course)?</p>
<p>ummm i think it depends on what you;ve taken already....i think premed requires 2 semesters of bio with lab, orgo with lab, general chemistry with lab, either 1 or 2 semesters of mathematics, english and some other humaniies elective (lit hum or cc work for that) and i think some random schools require biochem. gluckkk! you might have to take summer courses...i know someone who switched back into premed second semester of his soph year so maybe it can be done :)</p>
<p>Cherrycoke -- I don't think it'd be too late. My academic advisor told me once that he knew a few students who had decided on premed that late and still managed to fulfill all reqs on time. However, I think it'd be smart to take biology before junior year if you think there's a chance you might go premed. You'll need to take a science course anyway to fulfill core reqs. And you'd definitely need to work hard to catch up, but it's doable. Also, if worse comes to worse, you can always take a summer course.</p>
<p>thanks phantom and boingy. i just wanted to see if it was a possibility in case poli sci doesn't work out for me.</p>
<p>This is a pretty good source. Sorry, forgot the physics and bio.</p>
<p>Bio 1 and 2;
Chem 1, 2, - the organic and inorganic
Physics 3 and 4;
Calculus or Stat
and any two English courses.</p>
<p>There's a dorm at Columbia where everyone lives that is doing this in a fifth year. Will try to find the link for you.</p>
<p>I know, I'm sort of keeping this in the back of my mind, too. Don't want to mess up an interesting major though.</p>
<p>here's a link to all US med schools so you can figure out what they want.</p>
<p>Okay, I know Columbia 2002 hates my brother but anyway I asked him about medical school when it's not your major. So this is getting to be a stretch because this is what his room mate did. But he said his counselor said, medical schools like to see that you have taken your medical school courses with your regular courses during the regular yaer. That is the first choice and will put you highest. To take the courses all at Columbia. Not go go home in the summer and take them at some junior college. Second is to take them in summer school at Columbia. </p>
<p>He's not sure how they look at that fifth year. He knows taking the courses with your regular course load is the first choice for top medical schools. I hope Columbia 2002 is not going to flame me again for asking my brother a question and sharing what he said.</p>
