<p>A double major in Business Economics and Biochemistry while trying to do research and volunteering for medical school.</p>

<p>I am a freshman and have already completed the GE requirements during high school and many of the pre-requisite courses for Business Econ. So is this doable in four years?</p>

<p>Also, how hard would this schedule be?</p>

<p>Chem 20A (I have already taken a college course that is almost equivalent to this)
Physics 6A
Math 32A
Econ 11</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>if you have already taken a college coarse that is similar, try to petition to waive it.</p>

<p>and from my experience, math 32a is the least challenging, and physics 6a is not too bad.</p>

<p>Wow biochem + bizecon? Thats pretty heavy courseload.</p>

<p>I am in a similar case, I completed all of my GEs except 2 and 4 of my prereqs for bizecon. I am an incoming freshman. Would this schedule to be too easy for my first quarter? (13 units) Sorry to highjack your thread haha </p>

<p>Math 31b
Econ 41
Life Science w/ lab GE</p>

<p>lol trying to look good for med schools. if youre really interested in econ just google the ****. you could better spend your time getting a higher gpa in biochem alone + doing more activities. you are wasting your time double majoring. if your gpa slacks you wont get any kudos at all.</p>

<p>arklogic: I can’t petition to have it waived because assist.org says I needed to take the second semester of the same course (which I didn’t) and I would really like a refresher on the material anyway. Other than that, do you think this schedule would be manageable?</p>

<p>zzzboy: I am actually better at Business Econ then Biochem, so if I were to choose amongst the two, I would pick Bizecon. I only need another 14 or 15 class for that bachelor’s anyway, so I just thought I’d throw in a class or two per quarter and get it done.</p>

<p>if your endgoal is medical school, then why do bizecon at all? concentrate on your biochem pre-major and major requirements. md/mba is possible in the future without bizecon.</p>

<p>eaad, I was a biochem major and I definitely wouldn’t call it the best major to decide to do a double major with. You might be able to stick on a minor without getting too overloaded. In any case, if you REALLY want to do econ, then just do econ and take the pre-health requirements… you don’t have to be a science major to apply and get into med school…</p>

<p>you could do econ and a minor…but another major is too much.</p>

<p>Summer Sessions are probably your friend if you want to do this. Easy time to boost your GPA with a light course load.</p>
