<p>that was all that I was saying thank you jakem333
as for everyone else: whenever I have had a question in the past everyone has been more than helpful and I appreciate it so thanks.
Its 2007 we've all seen people write in "blog" style. You all are intelligent individuals...you can figure it out.
Ultimately this isn't worth an argument...in fact its doing exactly what I was saying shouldn't be done.
Answer the questions posted no need for the extraneous smart alec comments. not at all neccessary. we should be encouraging one another. we are all premed or have been before its not easy. you don't want to hear that the future of medicine is horrible because you got ONE C. I mean thats ridiculous. that was my point.
and with that.
i leave all of the lame internet bickering because I am more mature than that.
thanks again!</p>

I don't think that he meant that doctors who got C's in undergrad would make bad doctors.</p>
<p>In fact, I think he meant something else entirely.</p>
<p>i know its been said that med schools can't tell if a class is a hard or not but surely they can understand that organic chemistry is easier than say...intro to astronomy or biology or something like that, so surely they can imagine that a biochemistry or a physics major is much harder than say an english or a biology or psychology major. I mean majoring in something easy, not having to take physical chemistry, calc based physics, biochemistry, multivariable calc, etc will surely give you a higher gpa than the harder majors. So do med schools see this? do they see a 3.5 gpa in a ceramics major the same way they see a bioengineering major?</p>
<p>Whether any major has a specific advantage or not, we don't know -- what we do know is that any advantages cancel out in the end. So maybe Chemistry is harder than Econ by .4 GPA points but econ majors have GPA's that are .4 points higher, so the two cancel. Or maybe chem is harder by .6, but they tend to have more research, too.</p>
<p>Whatever the explanation is, we know that all the advantages (within serious majors; obviously ceramics would be ridiculous) cancel out in the end.</p>
<p>The only majors I have heard schools considering the difficultly is engineering. Some do now that a engineering curriculum can be very time consuming compared to other majors.</p>
<p>^^ For my sake, I hope what ASMAJ says is true.</p>
