<p>if you were doing a CS major or BME and doing premed in the E-school- would you also do a minor in art history or history (assuming that you love art history/history) ???
----respondez por favor----
(its 'Sprench' [spanish + french] - i just made that up !!)</p>
<p>It would be a lot of work considering you'd have to fulfill the premed track, fulfill requirements for your major in the E-school and minor in art history. If you have enough passion to do all of that, more power to you.</p>
<p>Nurjahan: Are you a guy?</p>
<p>It is completely possible to be pre-Med in the E-school and have a minor in Art History. It won't be easy though. You should map out your schedule to have a courseload that accommodates all these requirements. You are heading to a few sleepless nights.</p>
<p>thank you uvamalex for the good words ! i imagine you are in the e-school..
if you are in the E-school- feel free to post suggestions for 'survival' or avoiding mistakes...</p>
<p>and bedhead- what does my CC name suggest?? - nurjahan was shahjahan's WIFE.</p>
<p>It would make your life a million times easier to take some classes over a summer, whether it be at a local college or cc, or at uva. You could spend your summer fullfilling pre-med reqs and maybe try to get ahead in engineering pre-reqs (such as take diffEQ or physII summer before your soph year) and then use your eng. electives to do the art history minor. You would probably have a crummy time if you did eng with pre-med during the year, but having art history classes would be a nice balance during the year. If you are sure about all of this, talk to your advisor during summer orientation and theyll get you on the right track, because you will need every elective opporunity.</p>
<p>thanks a lot !!</p>
<p>do a lot of people at UVA do BME and pre-medicine ??
and also- why do many people dislike the idea of doing engineering and premedicine- i mean you canc hoose whichever majro you want right so what is all the fuss....?</p>
<p>It's more often to find Chem E and Pre-Med, but BME and Pre-Med is pretty common. People are afraid of E-School and are equally afraid of Pre-Med. Putting the two things together would look like suicide to many people.</p>
<p>my buddy is BME and pre-med. He's got his work cut out for him. However, I am pretty sure its close to impossible to add a history minor to the mix. This is simply because the e-school essentially maps out your courses for you and unless you are ready to do some J terms and summer terms (by some i mean A LOT) then its pretty hard do get that minor too.</p>
<p>Med schools say you can major in anything you want. This is true but be careful...its not COMPLETELY true in a realistic sense. For certain majors, the required courseload alone are 15 credits a semester without any classes that overlap your premeds. So once you start your second year with orgo and bio plus their respective labs...this becomes difficult since those premeds total around 10 credits by themselves. Doing both puts you at 25....IMPOSSIBLE</p>
<p>btw...nice locations malex haha. Im partial to the alderman stacks...although i have gotten lost before. I bring jelly beans to find my way back now though...so its all good.</p>
<p>I prefer stacks of computer monitors and towers over shelfs and shelfs of books.</p>
<p>soo can you take an extra class or two (like spanish) in the first semester- besides the 4 or 5 that you have to take ??</p>
<p>If Spanish is not restricting you from taking it, then yeah you can.</p>
<p>You coudl always save yourself a LOT of trouble and do Engineering Science and pre-med. This would work out so much better because your schedule is virtually all electives after the first year. You can put your minor in bio/chem/bme/cs or whatever you like and still have room for your premed stuff. It will be a lot harder than just majoring in biology, but easier than doing chem E or BME and premed</p>
<p>Chem E and BME have suggested schedule layouts for pre-Med students making it possible for an Engineering student to be pre-med. Some Chem E classes are standard pre-med requirements.</p>
<p>wait.. what is engineering science ?
i m confused because it is not listed as a major.</p>
<p>Engineering Science is a "blank slate" major that can have a concentration on any Engineering discipline. It's basically Engineering lite.</p>
<p>haha, I don't know if I would call it engineering lite from what I can tell. I guess it could be used that way.</p>
<p>It is useful if you want to do something that they don't offer, or combine into a less traditional engineering discipline. For example, you could use engineering science as a basis for studying engineering physics. Or applied math. Or pre-med. It would also work out well for something that is distinctly interdisiplinary if you want to mix things up.</p>
<p>Supposedly it also works extremely well as a prep for grad school if thats what your into. Once you egt to grad school you have to specialize, and its possible to do so in something that doesn't necessarily fall into one engineering category such as nanotech, quantum computing, whatever. With eng sci, you could theoretically work your schedule to take classes that relate to that idea, instead of majoring in comp sci or ee and not having the prep from the other area, know what I am saying?</p>
<p>My current plan is to use it to study some EE and some eng. phys, and hoepfully graduate with a double major in ES and physics, we'll see. Ask your advisor at orentation.</p>
