<p>I'm currently in the Biological Sciences department in CALS under Environmental Engineering.</p>
<p>I'm seriously considering switching out if I have to, but...what are the required courses that I'll need for pre-Med?</p>
<p>Gen chem:
Either Chem 207-208 or Chem 215-216</p>
<p>Gen physics:
Either Phys 101-102 or Phys 207-208</p>
<p>Some kind of bio course: at least 2 semesters of bio (won’t be a problem for you)</p>
<p>Some kind of organic chem:
Either Chem 357-358 or Chem 359-360 </p>
<p>Chem 251 (organic chem lab)</p>
<p>You might also consider taking:
Biochem (either BioBM 330 or BioBM 331-332)
2 semesters of English
Statistics (many many options for stats from normal math stats to PAM stats to Econ stats to ILR stats)</p>
<p>Whoops, didn’t notice you are in engineering. Some of the above may be different for you.</p>
<p>I’m actually in the Biological and Environmental Studies department in CALS. Not in the Engineering school.</p>
<p>Are you currently a student in CALS, or have you just been accepted and will attend beginning Fall '08?</p>
<p>Been accepted and will attend beginning Fall '08.</p>
<p>I think all of your pre-med courses would be satisfied by the the BEE major. It’s up to you whether or not you will find the engineering curriculum your academic cup of tea. You could be an English major and be pre-med.</p>
<p>Does anyone have the link to the page that breaks down med school acceptances based on gpa and mcat?</p>
<p>I wanted to make sure I read between the lines correctly and understood that you weren’t at Cornell yet. My question is why are you asking about switching majors if you haven’t started yet?</p>
<p>“I think all of your pre-med courses would be satisfied by the the BEE major.”</p>
<p>Not necessarily true & you need to be careful, ie chemistry.</p>
<p>Just work with an adviser and you’ll be fine. Cornell has got strong premed advising!</p>
