Rutgers Academic interest question

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University

<p>I have already been accepted into Rutgers SAS and SEBS but i wanted to go in for premed. I read online that most premed people do Biology as their major, so i put down Biology/Life science for my first and Biochem for my second. Than as my friend was doing his app i saw PREMEDICINE down in the list. That freaked me out since my app was set in stone.</p>

<p>My question: Is the academic interest the major you HAVE to go into if you do go, or after you accept your offer of admission, you can choose the interest. Yes i realize premed is not a major but it is still a academic interest option.</p>

<p>I am really freaking out over this and even called the office but since it was the 30th and its right before the dec 1st deadline they didnt pick up.</p>

<p>I have not accepted the offer so i was hoping i can pick premed, since i did pick biology as my first academic interest.</p>

<p>Take a deep breath and calm down. U shouldn’t be freaking out…Premed basically is the same thing as putting down biology/chemistry/biochem…If u put premed ur basically saying that u still didn’t choose whether ur gonna do biochem/chemistry/bio/etc. And u don’t have to “go into” the major/academic interest u chose. If u get accepted to SAS than u can choose what ever major u want in SAS…it doesn’t have to be what u picked. So don’t worry ur still gonna do premed.</p>
