<p>Which college at Cornell University would be best suited to condition a person for med school?</p>
<p>Arts and Sciences or Agriculture and Life Sciences?</p>
<p>A&S has biology and physics (I'm interested in both) majors, but CALS has a specialization in human biology.</p>
<p>Is one superior to the other for a major in biology? And is one more selective than the other?</p>
<p>Trying to educate myself here ... :) I'm becoming very interested with Cornell.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Well, as far as I know, you can major in anything and still be pre-med, since pre-med is only a bunch of course requirements, a track, if you will. CAS definitely has more variety in terms of courses, and I heard that it’s more competitive than CALS, especially since it receives the most applicants (or at least close to the most). </p>
<p>As to your q about bio, check out this FAQ on the cornell site: [Cornell</a> University Undergraduate Admissions Office - RESOURCES](<a href=“http://admissions.cornell.edu/resources/faq_answer.cfm?num=23]Cornell”>http://admissions.cornell.edu/resources/faq_answer.cfm?num=23)
From what I gather, it’s the secondary interests that should motivate your application choice.</p>
