<p>is it possible to take both classes at the college and wharton or can you only pick one. i see, however, the penn doesn’t have a pre-med class because i received info in the mail showing their classes. could somebody please explain this to me.</p>
<p>There is no such thing as a "pre-med" class... at any college afaik.</p>
<p>Wharton students can be premeds, although it is rare. I believe in 04 there were 9 Wharton Med students. Wharton students HAVE to take classes in the college to fulfill their degree requirements, and being a premed IS an option.</p>
<p>Penn does not have an official "Pre-med" major. As long as you satisfy premed requirements (roughly 1 year of phys, math, bio, 2 years of chem), then you're good to apply to med school. You can fulfill these requirements while being in the college or engineering. I don't know about Wharton, it'll probably be more difficult, but I guess you can do it.</p>
<p>You can definitely do it in Wharton, but like ppl said, not many do. I have a few classmates who did and are now in med school (and yes, they are at good schools).</p>
<p>i read on their website that you could do transfer internally from sas to wharton after the first year to complete a dual degree. i was thinking of completing the pre-med requirement and the bachelor of science in econ for wharton. could you possibly start the other way around and start off at wharton and then go sas.</p>
<p>You can go Wharton then SAS are you doing this to avoid summer school or taking additional hours? Whether you graduate Wharton or SAS you will still be a viable candidate for any med school.</p>
<p>Can you also do M&T and be Pre-med? Any stories of people who have done it and got into top med schools? (I remember someone said that it was possible, but I'll just like to hear more about it).</p>
<p>would the courseload be very demanding getting a BSE and being a Pre-med as in me spending my whole week just studying? same question would apply to Rudess's possible double major.</p>
<p>in response to hazmat, i was asking this because if i find out im not cut out for the business world, then i can fall back on medicine which ive wanted to do. my brother was getting an mba from michigan when he decided that he didn't want to do it. then he went to law school.</p>
<p>would getting a BSE and being pre-med require studying all the time? yes. i'm serious. most engineering pre-meds instead do the BAS in bioengineering.</p>
<p>is it certainly possible to do it in 4 years and still have some leisure time.</p>
<p>It depends on how much Advanced credit you'll have and how many courses you want to take for fun rather than towards your major. </p>
<p>BSE and pre-med is certainly possible to do and still have leisure time. For pre-med, you need: </p>
<p>Biology (2 semesters with laboratory)
Inorganic Chemistry (2 semesters with laboratory)
Organic Chemistry (2 semesters with laboratory)
Physics (2 semesters with laboratory)
English - 2 semesters of any English or Comparative Literature course. Freshman English Seminars and Freshman Writing Seminars satisfy this requirement.
Mathematics 2 semesters; some schools specifically require calculus.
In addition, some medical schools require courses that are not included in the list above:
Biochemistry - is increasingly coming to be required for admission to medical school.
Biology - some medical schools require as many as four semesters of Biology.</p>
<p>If you're doing BE, that pretty much covers it ENTIRELY.</p>
<p>If you're doing another BSE, you might need to take some biology or organic chem courses. But other than that, the BSE curriculum contains the rest of the above.</p>
<p>BSE in BE does not include organic chemistry as far as I know.</p>
<p>And, BSE in BE includes:
BIOL 202 Cell Biology and Biochemistry
BIOL 215 Physiology
BE 100 Intro. to Bioengineering
BE 200 Biomechanics.& Biomaterials
BE 209 BE Lab I
BE 210 BE Lab II
BE 310 BE Lab III
BE 301 BE Signals & Systems
BE 324 Physical Chemistry in BE
BE 350 Biotransport
BE 400 Clinical Preceptorship
BE 4XX/5XX Quantitative Depth Requirement
BE 495 Senior Design I
BE 496 Senior Design II
BE 4XX or 5XX Elective
BE 4XX or 5XX Elective</p>
<p>So combine all that on top of the pre-med courses, intense competition, and squeezing in orgo somewhere (most likely in the summer) and you have one happy camper turned completely masochistic ;)</p>
<p>I'm not saying it's not possible, just that it's a bit difficult to accomplish this AND still have tons of free time to party hardy all the time. Though if you're clever enough and have all your wits about ya, you never know...</p>
<p>It's definitely doable and still party plenty R-S, even getting straight A's (and sliding scale of ease down to the median :D )</p>
<p>Clever, granted :)</p>
<p>I have a classmate who was M&T and is now at Penn Med and just won some fancy fellowship... I know that's just one person but it's hard to keep track of people once you graduate.</p>
<p>sorry you guys. when i meant BSE, i meant econ not engineering. thanks for the other info. could you guys comment on econ.</p>
<p>Wharton and pre-med is really tough. It is doable if you're ambitious enough, but it's not easy. I know someone who is doing Biology + Finance...he's a Ben Franklin Scholar, and wicked smart.</p>
