<p>how is columbia's pre-med?</p>
<p>i have a few sr. friends this year who are going into fairly reputable med schools (JH and Harvard)</p>
<p>You don't get a degree but you can graduate within three years.</p>

<p>Interesting context for "fairly reputable" ;)</p>
<p>karot, what exactly does that mean? do they have a pre-med program (because under their schools of studies they dont list any medical thing)?</p>
<p>ColumbiaDream,</p>
<p>Premed is not a 'program' but a series of courses that medical schools expect you to take before applying to their schools.</p>
<p>Here's all the info you'll ever need:

<p>Make sure you visit all the links on the left menu bar.</p>
<p>You can thank me by naming your first kid after me.</p>
<p>i think what karot meant was that in CC you can do a concentration in pre-med without having a major and still graduate with a degree, but of course you'll have to take many more courses ontop of the required premed courses in order to get to the necessary 124 points or so required to graduate.</p>
<p>Question. Would it be feasible to major in bio, have a concentration in English, and still complete the required pre-med courses?</p>
<p>...probably</p>
<p>Anything is possible if you're motivated enough.</p>
<p>What Shraf said, only you can complete the required courses by doing summer classes, thus making the time requirement down to three years.</p>
