Don't care about rigor of major?

<p>

<p>Well, then according to that logic, you could say that every single MIT student could be said to be an aspiring premed, as every single one has to take a general biology course as part of the General Institute Requirement. Even the students in EECS, which is the largest major at MIT, and the (rare) MIT humanities students all have to take biology. In contrast, only a fraction of EECS students at most other schools will take biology, as will probably even fewer humanities students at those other schools. </p>

<p>Which complements what’s been said above regarding bio students and med-school applications. MIT students complete most of the premed requirements as part of the GIR’s, so it isn’t much of an extra burden to complete the rest, take the MCAT, and then apply to med-school.</p>
