<p>How will I know which classes to take in order to major in biomedical engineering with Pre-med? Should i know beforehand or will I find out during sign up?</p>
<p>If you scour the McCormick website for the BME department, you’ll probably find a suggested curriculum sheet for that plan, since it’s fairly popular. However, your advisor will help you pick your courses with your plans in mind. You won’t be worse off if you just wait for Wildcat Welcome, but I do warn you: NU is a place for the overly-prepared, so don’t be surprised if your fellow freshmen seem to have their entire 4-year curriculum memorized. At least, that was my WW experience :)</p>
<p>I was actually considering BME as a pre-med path. Ended up choosing not to, but it’s a pretty popular path, so the BME department actually offers a handful of tracks. Here’s a link to the PDF

There are a couple of terms I didn’t quite understand (Capstone Design? I assume it’s some sort of senior thesis type thing), but those will become clear with an advisor, I’d imagine. H&SS is just the Humanities and Social Sciences requirement for McCormick.
Good luck! Hope to compete with you soon, haha.</p>
<p>thanks haha and alright i’m looking forward to it. so what did you decide to to instead and why?</p>
<p>Don’t worry too much about it! There will be academic advisors that will help you out during Wildcat Welcome, and you don’t have to sign up for classes until Friday.</p>
<p>Well, doing just BME kinda sidelines you to one major, and I want a little more variety. Right now, I’m thinking biology and either creative writing or Econ, but I’m very open to letting it change.</p>
<p>In any case, chrizzlybear is right, we don’t really have to worry about classes for a while. I think NU does orientation for freshman the best way: right before school starts, as opposed to the middle of the summer when you haven’t even spoken to your advisor or PA yet.</p>
