<p>Hey everyone!
Now that I've officially been rejected by my reach schools, I am seriously considering attending CMU. When sharing this thought with my parents all that they keep telling me is that CMU doesn't have a strong science program and that it's really a technology (computer) and arts school. Are they completely wrong? I showed them the CD that CMU sent concerning admissions and it really emphasized these two fields. How is CMU's science program? I'm really interested in biotechnology and molecular biology. Does anyone have any personal experiences with science at CMU? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>I was just thinking EXACTLY the same thing. i might want to go into medicine and i am questioning about its science program since CMU is well known computer scicence, buisness, and enginering. my friend said it has a strong science program,but i am not sure if it is true or not. It is seems to me that it is a lot of hard work, too.</p>
<p>Yeah, I am probably heading in the same direction as you two. How strong is their biology dept?</p>
<p>bump. it seems a lot of people are wondering...</p>
<p>bump... come on... someone must know something about cmu's biological science program.</p>
<p>i'm wondering the same since I want to go into medicine as well.... my brother said to double pre-med w/ business in order to have the highly ranked major to support the science...</p>
<p>any good for premed??/ and where exaclty is it lol</p>
<p>well, this probably isn't what you're looking for but it might be helpful...what mcs people do after graduation and where they go to grad/med etc school:</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that they don't have a pre-med major.</p>
<p>i already looked before. they have one. they also have pre-law.</p>
<p>to all:</p>
<p>i know the pre med program isnt a major because there are hardly any requirements for it. the course requirements and such can be found here:</p>
<p>cmu . edu / hpp (no spaces)</p>
<p>The Health Professionals Program is the program at CMU that supposedly prepares you for the doctorate-level education that you should receive in the future. I think that it's a great idea instead of having a defined "pre-med" track. I have a friend who is at MCS right now and has a very heavy course load in studying biological science. So basically, you take the courses you would take if you were at a defined "pre-med" program, but you also take courses outside of your field of study that prepare you as a "health professional". </p>
<p>That's my best recollection of the information session I attended last weekend at CMU. Don't be discouraged, bio-majors have a tremendous amount of work and the classes are very intense.</p>
