<p>I can't decide what would be a USEFUL major to pursue. Do you guys have any good suggestions? And if you were a non-science major, how did you find the time to squeeze in the pre-med requirements and also take the upper division science classes?</p>
<p>thanks :)</p>
<p>Psychology...</p>
<p>1.) Econ.</p>
<p>2.) Overload. Just take more classes than is normal at your school. One semester at Duke, I looked up Berkeley's equivalents of the classes I was taking and it turned out I was taking 27 units, which is apparently higher-than-normal there.</p>
<p>I definitely second beprepn on Psychology. Understanding humans from a multidisciplinary perspective, as psychology offers, is important to being a good doctor.</p>
<p>how much would overload be? bluedevil, did you take 6-7 classes per semester?</p>
<p>It varies from school to school.</p>
<p>well, I think that the average number of classes for a school on the semester system is 5 classes. So how many classes on average did you end up taking per semester?</p>
<p>4.75, which is high for Duke, but would be low for UPenn. Units-wise, it would be high for UCB, etc.</p>
<p>Does units=credits? My school doesn't let anyone take past 19 credits; although some of the classes vary in credit value</p>
<p>I have no idea. This varies too much from school to school. I hadn't realized you would try this hard to apply this specifically. Consider my comments withdrawn.</p>
