<p>dina4119: Thanks for the tip, I thought a lot of the MCB upper divs were also hard.</p>
<p>@boysx3: At the school i go to (Berkeley), the college of chemistry that offers the chemical engineering major has a really tough 4 year plan, with taking a lot of units each semester and classes that have harsh grade distributions. Since the chemE major is not apart of the college of engineering, the weeding out is done through initial courses rather than at the time of application for admission to berkeley.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the media studies major is assumed to be the easiest major on campus. Many athletes pick it so they can spend less time on classes and the most time on practicing and partying. Therefore, i assumed that the media studies major would have a higher GPA.</p>
<p>The difference in MCAT score is just to give a balance to the GPA’s. I am not saying i expect engineers to score much higher than applicants of other majors</p>
