<p>I was just reading through the threads, and I came across that the Bio major at BU is ridiculously difficult, is this true, or is it manageable, granted that one puts in a decent amount of effort. I am asking this question because I plan on going onto med school to become a doctor, and I don’t want to go to a school where I will do poorly (in terms of grades).</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Majoring in biology is tough no matter what school you attend!(a lot to read and digest)
My brother attends Adelphi and is majoring in Biology. He is currently taking Biology 2; the average grade on his last exam was somewhere in the 60s- the highest score was a 98(only one girl scored this high).</p>
<p>Lots of people do pre-med at BU and go to medical school so the programs can’t be graded low. Med school admission is grades and MCAT - plus interview & showing concern for humanity, etc. but mostly grades and MCAT. </p>
<p>You don’t have to major in Bio to be pre-med but if that’s your interest then you are more, not less likely to do well in the pre-med requirements. </p>
<p>I don’t know if science is tougher because science people often find it more natural than liberal arts.</p>
