some questions concerning pre-med at cornell

<p>is cornell engineering good for "pre-med"? are the other schools within cornell better for "pre-med"
do alot of cornell engineering students get into med school? what do they usually major in? how does cornell engineering compare with columbia seas for "pre-med"?</p>

<p>bumpp bumpp</p>

<p>My guess is that it would be uncommon for engineering students to end up going to med school, it seems like a different focus (perhaps biomedical engineering or something like that). My guess is that most of the med students come from Arts and Sciences, CALS, and Human Ecology</p>

<p>any other comments?</p>

<p>No school at Cornell is better than the other in terms of pre-med preparation. All pre-med students take the same basic coursework. Besides those basic requirements, med schools don’t give much care to what you studied in college.</p>

<p>The Eng school (like CAS, CALS and HumEc) has its own pre-med advisor. So, I assume a decent number of Eng students go to medical school. If you are concerned about this, I suggest you contact the Eng advising office. I’m sure they would be happy to assist you.</p>

<p>ohh thanks :slight_smile: what do people usually major in?</p>

<p>Why engineering? Personally, engineering is way too much work for anyone who isn’t going to use it the future.</p>

<p>what would you recommend majoring instead?</p>

<p>Study whatever interests you!</p>

<p>i have friends who use engineering as a backup in case they dont get into medical school, cause i guess they are soemwhat intersted in engineer too. others say the school trains them to think</p>
