<p>I plan to be in the physician scientist program next fall. How hard and stressful are the pre-med courses at Rensselaer? I have not taken chemistry in 2 years, never took physics, and never got a 5 on any math/science AP test.</p>
<p>are you that indian kid from florida? you had a funny wink, right?</p>
<p>Could someone answer my question?</p>
<p>Does anyone even care? Or are you just interested in engineering stuff?</p>
<p>Um..it can be stressful at times, when you are bombarded with 3-4 exams in 1 week and tons of homework...but thats probably on pace with every other engineering school</p>
<p>Hey seg9585, are you taking pre-med courses at Rensselaer? Should I study some this summer, since I have never taken physics, took chemistry 2 years ago, and do not have a strong base in genetics? How would you compare the intensity and rigor of Rensselaer's pre-med courses to those at Rutgers, NYU, or to the regular undergraduate schools? I hope I can enjoy my next 3 years at college and not have to work my a$$ off. I have had enough episodes of working my a$$ off in high school with the IB curriculum.</p>
<p>Anyone else? I have to decide very soon what college to go to. It is important that I make an informed decision before messing with the most precious years of my life.</p>
<p>I'm an engineer and the engineering courses can be pretty stressful... I have a few friends who are pre-med along with biomedical engineering and they're handling it pretty well. I can't imagine pre-med being terrible. The only course that may give you some trouble is intro to chem.</p>
<p>HAHA Donnie :P you're not an engineer...you're an IMaginary Engineer :P It really just depends on how much work you do. I'm a PDI Management major, and the workload can vary, but most of the time, if you can budget your time well, you won't be as stressed as others are.</p>
<p>Hahaha... thanks Ed</p>
