<p>If I get accepted to Berkeley, I'm considering doing an Integrative Bio/Comp Sci double major. Do you think that would be doable? </p>

<p>How about IB and another major?</p>

<p>isn’t it doable to double major (or simultaneous major, idk what that means really but i heard that term around… joint major?) with IB since you hear about so many people in other majors going pre-med? so those other majors r taking essentially the same lower division courses as IB and… idk someone answer this haha.</p>

<p>but cs/ib sounds like hell …</p>

<p>IB double majors are very doable and are very common. I personally am an IB + Latin double major (though I will be taking a ninth semester to give me time to take some extra IB courses I will need for graduate school and to give me time to take the Latin honors thesis course)</p>

<p>Anyways, IB upper division sequencing is very fluid and can easily conform to your CS requirements, since the major requirements are very loose and free form.</p>

<p>I was thinking the same thing with psych and IB… since psych has a few upper div’s that are also listed as IB courses… but I’m still not sure, if I can get through these annoying lower div’s (for premed) then upper div’s shouldn’t be too hard…</p>

<p>IB+Psych, IB+MCB, IB+Anthro, and IB+English are some of the most common IB double majors that I have heard of</p>

<p>IB isn’t difficult to double major in. I’m IB with a minor in music, which has been super easy so far. If you’re applying to med schools, they don’t really care if you had an IB/MCB double major, because they like well-rounded applicants. If you’re going to go through the hassle of double majoring, pick a major that isn’t quite so similar.</p>

<p>Premeds shouldn’t worry about double majoring as much as getting good grades in the pre-req classes.</p>
