<p>Yep, you are way ahead of the game if you know yourself well enough to understand that a certain system works better for you.</p>
<p>Colorado College makes sort of a big deal of providing cadavers to their students. (Isn’t this a great Halloween topic?) But at a large-ish university, I bet you could find some similar course; you may just need to be a little pushy to get into it.</p>
<p>Yay cadavers! I’ll probably ask the departments as I look into the schools.</p>
<p>Yes, do some digging. :)</p>
<p>ewww</p>
<p>cadavers and digging </p>
<p>Actually, there are probably cadavers in all the anatomy classes. I remember having to work with one in such classes…the smell bothered me.</p>
<p>Digging is fun…sometimes. The cadavers don’t smell that bad to me…I went to bother a friend during the summer when she was on break from her anatomy class. It wasn’t that bad :)</p>
<p>“there’s no way that a decent med school is going to view a Bio, Chem, or Engineering major equal to a French, English, communications, education, music, dance, or art major.”</p>
<p>I think it’s a mistake to put liberal arts like French and English in the same category as education and communications. Top med schools do not want 100% science majors; they also want top graduates of humanities and social science programs who excelled in their premed requirements. Education and communications (like music and dance performance, and kinesiology) are pre-professional majors and not viewed as providing the intellectual and analytic background that liberal arts do. Some of that attitude is justified, and some is snobbery, but regardless, that’s the lay of the land.</p>
<p>Why is kinesiology part of communications?</p>
<p>It’s not part of communications. It’s LIKE communications – in that it’s a pre-professional major that elite med schools will likely view as less than rigorous.</p>
<p>I would disagree about music majors, however. From what little I have seen, music majors tend to be disproportionately successful in professional school admissions, including med & law (although their numbers are really small). Like science majors who live in the lab, music majors tend to live in the studio; thus, the major a huge time commitment. Add in A’s in the required premed sciences, and a music major can stand out in the app pool to med school, IMO.</p>
<p>Many colleges and U’s are changing kinesiology majors to Movement Science or Exercise Science majors. The exercise science major at my D’s flagship state U includes required courses in organic chemistry and biochemistry, physics, anatomy and physiology with lab I and II just to name a few. It is a tough major and loaded with premed students (D is interested in a DPT not an MD).</p>
<p>The last athlete that graduated with this major at her school last spring was a football player, and a Rhodes Scholar with aspirations towards neurosurgery. So it depends on the university.</p>
<p>I would still be concerned about majoring in Kinesiology without also majoring in something like Biology or chemistry in order to be attractive to med schools. I wouldn’t just assume that med schools are going to know that a particularly “non traditional” pre-med major is rigorous enough.</p>
<p>As a faculty member of a College of Medicine, I can say that it is the transcript and overall strength of schedule that is looked at. The major is pretty meaningless. Really. Majors differ so radically from college to college and from U to U, that what is looked at are the actual courses taken. A bio major from one college can be weak compared to a kinesiology major from another. And vice versa. It is strength of schedule, grades, scores, etc. etc. Truly, the major is just a label. It is what the transcript contains that is what matters.</p>

<p>Have you accepted many kinesiology majors? If so, did they supplement their program with additional bio, chem, and math classes to be more appealing?</p>

<p>Also…since you’re an insider,</p>
<p>How many med schools does a typical applicant apply to? 5? 10? 20?</p>
<p>Well for sure I’ll be taking bio, chem, ochem, physics if my major doesn’t require me to for med school admissions (duh) but I’d probably tack on some other classes like biochem, microbio, immunology, anatomy and physiology (sure I’d get to these two if I major in kinesiology)</p>
