<p>I want to study panthology, but that's postgraduate stuff right?</p>
<p>I'm total noob at college app, and i'm trying to choose undergrad major, but i don't know where i want to go if i want to study panthology. </p>
<p>can anyone share some info?
i don't care if you're sharing opiniion, i just need to hear from people.</p>
<p>so please help me!</p>
<p>i got 33 on act and am top 5%, with gpa of 4.5 if that helps....</p>
<p>thank you!</p>
<p>What is panthology?</p>
<p>Maybe it is the study of panthers.</p>
<p>Are you sure you’re not talking about “pathology” b/c I’ve never heard of panthology before.</p>
<p>yea pathology. duh</p>
<p>“Study of panthers” LOL</p>
<p>What kind of pathology? Medical? “Pathology” just means the study of what went wrong. There is the MD Pathologist (like a coroner), forensic pathology, speech-language pathology… lots of possibilites. Can you narrow it down a bit?</p>
<p>medical pathology. i liked microbio, so i’m trying to choose a related major.</p>
<p>Usually you don’t have to finalize your major until your 2nd year, although you might want to get started early on coursework early for a difficult major. For college application, just pick bio, microbio or something related for now. You will have access to profs and an advisor in college to help you pick the best major for your aims.</p>
<p>AFAIK, pathologist requires a grad degree. Either you’re an MD (medical school) or a pathology assistant (masters) working under an MD. Either path would best be served by any biology-related or premed undergrad program.</p>
<p>What do you want to do in pathology? Clinical careers require a medical degree (as above) including pathology asst, DO or MD. Research careers require a Phd and/or a medical degree. Either way the preparation you need in college is pretty similar. Most biomedical science majors will have similar introductory requirements including general chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biology, physics, calculus, genetics, microbiology and biochemistry. Beyond that, you will take courses related to your specific major (you might wanna check out microbiology, immunology, physiology, cell biology, molecular biology etc). </p>
<p>You will want to get into a lab as soon as possible; my first lab job was in a pathology department. Don’t be daunted, very little is expected of undergrad research assistants in labs. You should find out as much as you can about the faculty in the pathology department at your university and send emails to see if any have a spot in their lab that you might have.</p>
<p>i love you all. thank you</p>
