<p>Yeah. I thought a lot of premeds jumped right into Orgo though, even without taking AP Chem.</p>
<p>ehh well at least most of my undergrad is paid for…im gonna get a job hopefully and save up some cash so I can take extra courses if I have to…</p>
<p>I’m in LSA, so I have to take first year and upper level writing courses. I think English counts for humanities for engineers, but I’m not particularly sure about that. I would also say that I did not have any medically related volunteer experience before I came to U of M. You don’t need any. Everything about medical school should be done in college. Volunteering, Community Service, Joining organizations, etc. </p>
<p>I never wanted to join the pre-med club because I never wanted to follow the traditional path of those that were thinking about medical school, but next year, I will join the black pre-med association. I will also try to get on their e-board. I would say that CS is very hard at U of M and Qwerty is right. When I take my pre-med courses, I take them with easier courses for balance. For example, I’m taking Oragnic Chemistry with Calc 1 (which is not easy) and Cass 111 (easy). I would say not to worry about it. See what happens first semester then decide if you love CS and want to do pre-med or you love one or the other.</p>
<p>Its funny how you are thinking way ahead into the future. Although that is good, U of M changes people and changes what people want to do. Some people come here and they aren’t motivated to do the amount of work required for pre-med and they end up changing their minds. More than half of U of M freshman are Pre-med, but only about less than 1000 end up applying. Only the dedicated survive.</p>
<p>^No. Not Composition. I know, it’s ridiculous.</p>

<p>[Michigan</a> Engineering | Core Requirements](<a href=“http://www.engin.umich.edu/bulletin/uged/reqs.html]Michigan”>http://www.engin.umich.edu/bulletin/uged/reqs.html)</p>
<p>Hey, I’m in a similar situation as yosup, except I’m doing Biomedical engineering at umich rather than cs. I was looking at the list of requirements, and I’ve done quite a bit of those through AP and classes at my local community college. I’ve heard things about how medical schools don’t really like to see people “skipping” a year with those credits (I’ve got 39(/41-macroecon??) at the moment; if I do well on the AP tests this year, I’ll have 47(/49)); is this true? And if it is, would it be a good idea to do the accelerated undergrad/grad thing to make up the “skipped” year?</p>
<p>^Maybe you could do a BSE + MSE (for BME this is not hard, requires a 3.2 only, and BME is curved to about that, but this is the only one this is true for) and then go to Med School if you’re worried about it.</p>
<p>Yeah, I did read that most med schools prefer you take your chem/bio classes in college, and not have AP credit It’s great that you have so much other credits though, you won’t be struggling to fit in your classes like me</p>
