<p>Anyone have an idea?</p>
<p>I'm guessing pretty hard because to major in Poli Sci you have to take 50% of your classes in it... I wouldn't do it because if it could be done you wouldn't have any time to enjoy college - just do a lot of it in your freshman year - maybe you could minor in it or something...</p>
<p>It's doable. I know an MD who majored in social studies but completed all pre-med requirements. He wrote his senior thesis on something to do with archaeology.</p>
<p>The faculty is currently reviewing the curriculum (there is an article in today's Crimson--<a href="http://www.thecrimson.com">http://www.thecrimson.com</a> about some discussions that happened yesterday. Both concentration and gen ed requirements are going to be reduced and there will be secondary fields (as opposed to joint concentrations which demand an integrated thesis and fulfilling the requirements of the second concentration). With secondary fields, a student has greater freedom to select among courses and have the field recognized on the diploma (the MD in question did not have his pre-med courses recognized on his diploma--but he got into med school anyway).</p>
<p>its definitely possible. tons of kids at H concentrate in a non science and go to med school.</p>
<p>That is kinda what I want to do in college.</p>
<p>For government, 12 classes are required. That leaves 20 classes for seven cores, expos, foreign language requirement, and 8-10 med school requirements (2 sem bio, 4 sem chem, 2 sem physics, 0-2 sem math (depending on AP)). Not a lot of room for electives, but doable! An honors track or an honors concentration like social studies would be more difficult, but not too bad with a couple summers spent studying in Cambridge.</p>
<p>yeah, for everyone I've known doing premed with a non-science, summer courses have been crucial</p>
