Major in Computational Biology

<p>Is it hard to get into this major?</p>

<p>SAT1 : 1950 ( 710M, 640CR, 600W)
SATII : 780 Math, 640 Chem
GPA : 3.6 (unweighted) ( high school in Northern CA)
EC: school clubs, voluntary work in a church, piano player</p>

<p>What is the job potential for this major?</p>

<p>Here are the statistics for the MCS school:</p>

<p>Applied: 2,774 Admitted: 1,424 Enrolled: 231 SAT-V: 620-720 SAT-M : 670-770 Class Rank: 6% GPA: 3.69</p>

<p>These are from 2004-2005 so they should be pretty accurate. You will just be applying to a collge (in this case Mellon College of Science), and once you get there you will declare a major. I don't know what the job opportunities are like in this major, but you could email the professors that teach the Computational Biology course to get a better idea.</p>
