<p>So I originally was going to minor in geosci, but since bio majors and geosci majors take a lot of the same cognate courses I decided to double major. This means that I have two years to complete my geosci classes and my bio electives. This might mean that I have to take classes over the summer. Can it be done without doing that? Do med schools give special circumstances to those who double major? Anyone have experience with double majoring? Again I'm not doing this because it might look good, I'm doing this because I like geosci and biology.</p>
<p>med schools do not give special consideration to double majors. Plenty of med students double majored without summer courses. It’s going to depend on the majors and the school. I did Biology and Classics which obviously had no overlap but since Classics at Brown is only 8 classes (more if you’re not already proficient in latin or greek) it was very easy to double without summer courses.</p>
<p>As has been said to you before. It would be better to spend the summers doing stuff other than classes, and if that means you’re a bio major who took a bunch of geosci courses instead of a bio/geosci double major then you’ll have to “settle” for that.</p>
<p>@iwbB,
</p>
<p>You have the “patience of Job”. :D</p>

</p>
<p>No. </p>
<p>Brown said it all…</p>
<p>Nobody care a bit about double/triple major or any combo of ten or other number of major(s)/minor(s). One of D’s pre-med friends graduated with triple major. While 2 were related, they had nothing to do with her main pre-med major in Zoology. They were Spanish and Latin Studies. I did not hear anything special about her application process, most of them applied to about the same schools. The girl is currently at public state Med. School. Spanish is a great advantage in Med. School though, which I have mentioned in other posts, it opens more opportunities.
Pursue whatever you wish, but do not do it to pad your application, not worth it.</p>
<p>Columbia- if you really want to geosci, why spend the summer in the classroom when you can something really awesome in the summer like attend Museum of the Rockies Summer Field Camp?</p>

<p>Jack Horner has been known to lead it. (2005-2009) Students spend 6 weeks camped out in the Montana badlands and hunt for dino fossils. It’s pay as go (meaning there’s no scholarships or assistantships available–you need to be able to fund yourself) and you’ll be roughing it–as in week-long stretches out in the desert (No showers or baths, bring your tent & camping equip, work gloves, hiking boots.) and hiking up to 8-10 miles per days. </p>
<p>Individuals who make finds get to have the species named for them.</p>
<p>Montana State also runs its own summer geo/paleo field school–which includes course credits.</p>
<p>In fact, many western schools run summer geo field schools. </p>

<p>You’ll learn tons more about geology/paleotology tromping around the desert badlands than you ever will sitting in a classroom. (So saith my geologist friends.)</p>
<p>Did some math and I probably have to take 44 credits of geosci in edition to the 18 credits I need for bio. That’s just bio and geosci and classes and nothing else. I guess it is possible to take 62 credits in 2 years</p>
