Do Medical Schools consider difficulty of a hard major? compare these applicants

<p>

An engineering major isn’t necessarily harder. Those who go into such a major often do so because that is where their skills and interests lie (like any other major selection!). My S would find a humanities major significantly harder than his engineering major because he is a STEM kid all the way. It comes easy to him and having to do his GE classes outside engineering is torture or boring to him. He’s definitely not alone at his school.

<p>Very well said. I am finishing a BS in Chemistry this term and I took advanced/graduate classes in bio, chem, biochem, and physics. I also took classes across a wind range of other disciplines. The “hardest” classes I took over these four years (in terms of how long it took to master the topics) was by far my Music Theory classes. #:-S </p>
