Computer science + pre-med

<p>Is it possible in Johns Hopkins, or is it too difficult to do? I'm considering Computer Science with a pre-med track. I know that CompSci is in the engineering department so is it an unpopular route in JHU?</p>

<p>It’s certainly possible, but I cannot speak to either directly as I am international studies. I know several people who are pre-med or computer science, but I do not know anyone who is both (although I’m sure you can do it). The people I know in computer science seem satisfied with the program.</p>

<p>Pre-Med: [url=&lt;a href=“http://forums.hopkins-interactive.com/topic/563127/1/]Pre-Medicine[/url”&gt;http://forums.hopkins-interactive.com/topic/563127/1/]Pre-Medicine[/url</a>]</p>

<p>It’s definitely possible, and I know of at least one person off the top of my head who did it (plus another person in my med school class who was a CS major, though not at Hopkins). There’s even a [Computer</a> Integrated Surgery (CIS) Minor](<a href=“http://www.cisst.org/undergraduate-programs]Computer”>http://www.cisst.org/undergraduate-programs) that you may be interested in if that’s the aspect of CS you’re thinking about.</p>

<p>The CS program requires 16 credits of basic science classes, so you can use “space” to take your pre-med requirements. The CS program also has quite a bit of room for electives, so I don’t think completing the pre-med requirements will be difficult schedule-wise. (See [CS</a> Undergraduate Advising Manual](<a href=“http://cs.jhu.edu/current-undergraduate/adviseman.html]CS”>http://cs.jhu.edu/current-undergraduate/adviseman.html) for more about CS requirements)</p>
