<p>In terms of med school admissions, does it matter which college you are in at Cornell? Do they all have the same med school admissions acceptance rates? Would you have an advantage if you were from Arts and Sciences?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Bump anyone?</p>
<p>Your best bet is probably College of ag and life science (or arts sciences doing the straight biology major--of course, you can still get into med school with a different liberal arts degree). Human Ec is a possibility, though i'd go with one of the other two.</p>
<p>why? Also I don't want to be a biology major</p>
<p>Then are you sure you want to be a doctor?</p>
<p>No, it does not matter which college you are in as long as you fullfill the pre-med requirements and take the MCATs. While the most med applicants do come from CALS or CAS, there are plenty of people who do premed from HumEc or Eng (which is not that easy). And don't think you have to be a biology major. While biology does offer a good background for premed studies, people do go to med school from a variety of backgrounds. Ex. My roommate from last year is at Columbia med school and she was a sociology major.</p>
<p>You don't have to major in biology for the sake of med school admissions but non-science majors tend to do worse than science majors in their first two years of med school.</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestions! I was just wondering, is there was an advantage to being in Arts and Sciences college versus Human Ecology? Do med schools view all the colleges within Cornell equally?</p>
<p>Norcalguy, I'll worry about that once I get into med school. ;) Anyone able to answer my question above about any advantage to being in Arts and Sciences versus Hum.Ec?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>You want to be successful in med school once you get in. You don't want to be struggling because you picked the "wrong" major. So it's always beneficial to <em>plan ahead</em>. In addition, always have a backup plan. What if you change your mind and don't want to become a physician anymore? Will your major lead you to a decent job and career? So asking whether a college has any advantage over another college probably doesn't help you too much.</p>
