<p>Which is generally considered the harder course of study?</p>
<p>Also, is premed with engineering possible? (non-biomedical,chemical engineering majors)</p>
<p>At most universities, pre-med is only coursework- not an actual major. Generally it consists of one year of general chemistry, organic chemistry, bio, physics, (all with labs) and even up to one year of English and college-level math. Engineering, on the other hand, is a legitimate major. So to answer your question, engineering would be harder.</p>
<p>At my school, Brown, an engineering concentration required 25 (out of 30 needed to graduate) classes, so in order to do both engineering and pre-med here, it’s 34-35 classes. That’s only possible if one takes 5 classes for 2-3 semesters and 4 for the rest, or lots of summer study. These are just the numbers… actually juggling it all would be quite difficult. Almost everyone would advise against this.</p>
<p>The courses that you need to take prior to medical school don’t even fill a 4-year degree. They aren’t even that technical–they are just a couple of introductory courses. An engineering degree requires more work and the work is more technical.</p>
<p>Premed with engineering (non bio & chem) is possible, but you won’t have much time for electives. It doesn’t make much sense though. Why go through 4 years of job preparation and then throw it away when you go to med school?</p>
<p>Medical schools don’t even care that you have taken a more difficult degree–they really only care about GPA, and it is easier to maintain a high GPA while studying psychology than studying engineering.</p>
<p>Jeez, you were in that huge thread arguing about how useless humanities are and you aren’t even in college? Wow…</p>
<p>^ i don’t see what your point is. at what age do you become legal to observe facts?</p>
<p>^ Well, you’d be more credible if you were actually in college.</p>
<p>^ and why is that?</p>
<p>anybody can take apart an issue, study it, and draw conclusions on it.</p>
<p>Well, I think your arguments would be more persuasive if you’d first walk the walk before talking the talk. Who says that you’d make it through an engineering program?</p>
<p>By the way, I think all liberal arts majors realize that their degree is less useful for getting a job than engineering/accounting/etc–they don’t need a high schooler to tell them that.</p>
<p>To say stuff like “humanities is worthless” and “society doesn’t need the arts” is really moronic though.</p>
<p>^ quote me directly where i said that.
i believe “humanities is worthless” came from the title of the thread, which i did not create</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Still does not change a fact from a fact.</p>
<p>Here is your quote.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I guess I just pulled the “humanities is worthless” from the title of the thread. Sorry about misattributing that quote.</p>
<p>Also from the thread:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It is really unlikely that you’ll be able to decipher some of the heavier philosophical works without instruction. Mathematics is similar–you’ll get more out of (I don’t know) differential topology when you are listening to one of the best in the field lecture.</p>
<p>
Yes, but one more point. It’s also moronic to bring up a dead topic into a new thread.
Also another thing is that, it’s really moronic to try to argue/convince someone over the internet. I’ve been saying that I’m a 1/2 Asian 1/2 white high schooler all along… but you never know, I could be a 1/2 black 1/2 white middle schooler who’s arguing with someone who thinks he is on the moral high ground.</p>
<p>
Then you can likewise argue that humanities majors are “missing out” on other things. My whole argument was that passion is subjective, and thus it is better to adapt your passions to something that provides more stability.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The topic wasn’t really dead, but you are right–I probably shouldn’t have contributed to derailing the thread (although the train was already off the tracks . . .)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, but that doesn’t stop you either : )</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This doesn’t make any sense to me.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You can make this argument without saying that the humanities are worthless to society.</p>
<p>On student01’s passion point, it’s really hard to change/choose something you’re passionate about…</p>
<p>

<p>No, but really, there are certainly things which you can simply observe and argue about, somethings you cannot. I believe that this is an argument you can’t really make when you’ve never taken college courses in any discipline. How many of your friends have you seen graduate with a Humanities major? How many for engineering/business? I just really want to know what facts you are “picking apart”?</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Umm, what?</p>
<p>“I’ve been saying that I’m a 1/2 Asian 1/2 white high schooler all along… but you never know, I could be a 1/2 black 1/2 white middle schooler who’s arguing with someone who thinks he is on the moral high ground.”</p>
<p>LOL LOL LOL
That is the most idiotic, pointless and confusing thing I have ever read.</p>
<p>lol. im gonna conclude this thread as i concluded in the other one.
only time will tell</p>
<p>What the heck? What will time tell? Are you drunk when you are posting?</p>
