<p>THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH IN ADVANCE</p>
<p>I don’t think you should choose a major based on how easy it is to keep a high GPA. Do what interests you.</p>
<p>Different medical schools require different things. The general requirements are 1 year of math/calculus/stats, 1 year of chemistry, 1 year of organic chemistry, 1 year of biology, 1 year of physics, and sometimes 1 year of writing.</p>
<p>I took Chem14A and 14B with Scerri. I got an A+ in 14A, and an A in 14B. None of my friends that had Lavelle got As in either class… but I feel like they learned a lot more. So you be the judge of that.</p>
<p>1.Psychology - Impacted, lots of students, competitive, hard to get classes
2.History - Impacted, but not very competitive, easier to earn a high GPA
3.Anthropology - Consider BS in Anthro (pre-med), Anthro classes are not competitive
4.Sociology - Impacted, lots of students, competitive, hard to get classes
5. Econ - Impacted, competitive</p>
<p>It’s difficult for me to imagine why you would want to major in sociology, history, etc. as a pre-med (presumably to become an MD or similar?). Those are majors that would be more conductive towards professional degrees in law or business, and even then, there are better majors.</p>
<p>You cannot go wrong with majoring in the natural sciences or mathematics for that type of goal. The MCAT is highly quantitative from what I hear, and there was a recent Princeton Review study published which indicated that analytical majors (i.e. math, economics, physics, etc.) performed significantly higher on pre-entry exams for law, medical and business than did typical majors (English, philosophy, psychology, liberal arts, etc.).</p>
<p>Ultimately though, the purpose of your undergraduate education will be to teach yourself how to <em>THINK</em> – not get a 4.0 and hedge your chances on a top ranking graduate school, for even if you get in, you will likely be unsuccessful (or only marginally so).</p>
<p>It doesn’t seem very impacted if you ask me. During 1st pass, the History classes never fill up, unless Teo is teaching the class, and even then not really.</p>
<p>You’re spot on about History being easier to get a good GPA. If you start off as a History major, and are somewhat hard working, then the lowest GPA you should be able to pull off is a 3.6-3.7. Most people I know have 3.8-3.9 though.</p>
