Question on Majors!

<p>I am planning on declaring pre-med, however, I have not been able to decide on a major. I would like to know what major deals most with learning the human body that is offered at UT @ Austin and which college/department is it located? I am soo very interested in it and I just can't put my finger on what major I need. Thanks!</p>

<p>most likely biology, which you would need to be in the college of natural sciences for. If I were you I'd probably apply as undecided in the CNS.</p>

<p>why would i apply as undecided?</p>

<p>because you don't know apparently what sort of science you want to major in.</p>

<p>read the pre-med forum. they all tell you that med schools don't really give a d*** about what your major is, as long as you get a high GPA and MCAT score. </p>

<p>Lots of people are bio majors because 1) they like biology, 2) it's easier to get their pre-reqs fufilled as a bio major, or 3) combination of 1 and 2.</p>

<p>However, obviously you're interested in the human body, so biology or another major in the sciences would be a good option for you.
Try looking at the CNS(college of natural sciences) webpage. They have tons of information about all the different majors.</p>

<p>Is a biology major tough to get a high GPA in at UT? And, what could I do with a biology major if for some reason I couldn't go to med school?</p>

<p>if you're a pre-med, it's always hard to get a good GPA because you're ALWAYS fighting with the other pre-meds just to get that A!</p>

<p>But from what I heard, as long as you work hard enough, and do well, it should be okay.</p>

<p>what to do with a biology major?
biology teacher, researcher in biology, biology professor, work towards developing high-tech biology stuff.........well you should google it!</p>

<p>But remember that about half of the people who apply to med school don't get accepted anywhere. (yes, even those MIT people and HARVARD people may not get in.)</p>

<p>Lots of people apply again, or apply few(or many) years later after they start a different career.</p>

<p>Don't worry about not getting in.</p>

<p>anyway dude, RELAX
you're not even in college yet.
try GETTING IN UNDERGRAD first, unless you have a 2400 SAT score and 4.0 GPA and super worldwide extracurriculars.</p>

<p>Yeah, I know it's BEST to get started early...but not until you actually have an acceptance!!</p>

<p>And many, many people who come in as pre-med end up changing majors or career paths during college.</p>

<p>Heck, even I feel like a nerdy freak for asking questions about med school when I haven't even started college.</p>
