<p>thank you guys for my question about UCB engineering.
I have questions about Computer science and Medical field. </p>
<p>for computer science, i saw that they make most money in career.berkeley.edu
i really want to get a job as fast as possible. i know most of students in CS do not go to graduate school but they just go get a job. They also make a lot of money average..
So my question is what if i major in CS, what do i study? i know it should be about programming and something about computer. But other than that, do i learn math and sci? Since CS is in college of Letters and Science, i assume that i should take some English and writing courses for that and i really do not want take any additional English course more than a year. Since im good at math and sci, I want to study on those subjects mostly in college. So tell me about what i learn mostly or what subjects CS is most related to. </p>
<p>For medical field, what should i major in undergraduate school?
pretty sure it should be biomedE, biochemistry, biology or something like that.
Im not still sure what major i have to do as a pre-med.
I also think that other UC schools other than UCB have better programs in pre-med. I want to know what school and what major i need to successfully prepare for MCAT and medical schools. </p>
<p>For medical school, you should major 1) what you can get the highest GPA in and 2) what you are most interested in. (1) and (2) are usually same/similar. Do NOT major in CS if you have never programmed before and don't know what it is. Do not major in anything just because you think it will give you a higher salary - investment banks don't care about major (though they like to see a bit of related courswork, and more importantly, high GPA), if money is your main concern.</p>
<p>Medical schools don't care about major. You can major in music and go to medical school. In fact, majoring in CS/engineering is a really bad idea if medical school is your primary goal because of the dent it typically makes on your GPA.</p>
<p>For the MCAT, majoring in chemistry, biology, or engineering will do more harm than good. You are supposed to answer the questions on the basis of the provided prompts, not on advanced background knowledge. If you know too much, you will think too much and do poorly, or more poorly than you would as an English major. All the science knowledge you need to know for the MCAT is learned in your preq. classes, not in upper division classes for science majors.</p>
