<p>To all the current biology major Georgia Tech students </p>
<p>How's Georgia Tech's biology major?
I just want to hear some personal experiences...
Some one was saying UGA has better bio program since Tech is engineering school. Is this true?
How are pre-med and biology major different?
I have horrible time management skills...any advices to pass on?</p>
<p>Georgia Tech is much harder than UGA for any major. If your only concern is going to medical school, you probably don’t want to come to Georgia Tech because it will be so hard to maintain a high GPA (and that’s the most important thing for med school admissions). So if you’re interested in biology, come to GT, but if you’re interested in med school go to UGA. </p>
<p>Pre-med can be any major - you just have to take calculus, organic chemistry, chemistry, physics, and biology. So you could be a postmodern French literature major and take those classes and go to medical school.</p>

<p>Now that sounds like something invented by a UGA student. No, it’s not true. GT is 50% engineering, 30% sciences, 20% other (business, public policy, etc). GT has better research, more internships, and graduates have higher salaries. </p>
<p>The only caution is that, as mentioned, GT is a more rigorous school. You will have to work harder than if you attend UGA and need to be smart about your class selection to maintain a high GPA for medical school.</p>
<p>Just split up the middle if you can afford it lol (surely you get what I mean). Banjo: I think you meant if they attend Tech. </p>
<p>OP: Your time management question: You’ll just need to become capable of it, perhaps lesser so if you attend UGA, but you need to know how. I would imagine that Tech might prep. you better for pre-med, but if you really believe you can’t manage time, your finished at Tech. However, I think learning resources are more accessible at Tech than UGA due to size, but I dunno. If you are more concerned about gpa go to UGA, if you are willing to learn how to work hard and effectively to get really good prep. (actually, I question intro. bio there, yuck!! My poor friend who is chem. E has to waste his time with it, I visited and sat in with him and… you imagine the rest) and easy access to hospitals/medical research, Tech. For the sake of not over-intruding (as if I haven’t already), I’ll leave it up to you to research the learning resources available at both schools. Hopefully you’ll do well at whichever one you choose, but make sure you do what you have to to improve those study/time management skills.</p>
