<p>^ Interesting because many Philosophy related classes are included.</p>
<p>Your post reminds me of a nice CCer from this college (and went on to a prestigious medical school in midwest.) Although she was very good stats-wise, it appears to me her writing in her posts is quite special (in a good sense.) You can feel she is very good at connecting with others and many premeds, successful or not, liked to read her posts at that time. (tend to make everybody feel good while she still spoke the truth.) She once briefly mentioned there is no need to major in Biochemistry (keep you too busy so it takes away time for other more meaningful activities? or graduate school oriented? no need to have such a training as a future doctor? These within the parenthesis are my guess, not hers.)</p>
<p>I think she was the first CCer here who initiated an online chat to help premeds. It may be BDM who invited her to this premed forum if I remember it correctly. (She was originally at CC’s Notre Dame forum only.)</p>
<p>Re: Theology. At one time, I read from a major newspaper that many trainings in Theology are very beneficial to the preparation for any “reading comprehension style” standard test like MCAT or SAT. If your bring-up is such that reading theology passages is your weekly routine due to religion reasons, it would be even better. In another context, I read if your parents/grandparents like to go to museums or similar leisure activities, it could help too. I do not know whether there is some truth in these two speculations. (If your parents’ job was picking grapes in the field while you grew up, you may have a lot to catch up – especially few of your peers may even consider going to college. But you may get some boost if you are in such a situation. So it evens out.)</p>
<p>Not specifically, but shouldn’t a student who has had an economics course or few be able to apply the concepts of economics to understanding how and why the various parties act the way they do?</p>
<p>And, from what I’ve observed…doctors that come from families that have a good “business sense” (perhaps their families were self-employed) seem to do very well with their business decisions regarding their practices, their investments, etc.</p>
