Stanford Pre-Med VS Harvard UG Engineering

<p>"Quote:
So how does the undergrad pre-med track at Stanford compare to the Harvard undergraduate engineering track
"</p>

<p>this is a crazy question and really not relevant. A person can be an undergrad engineering major AND ALSO be premed. My own son just graduated with a Chemical Engineering degree and he’s starting med school in 2 weeks.</p>

<p>Basically. A more accurate analogy might be ‘how do apples compare to fruits’ since oranges and apples could be contrasted to two different majors. Pre-med is no such major.</p>

<p>OP, Pre-med track students just need to take certain stem classes. You can major in anything from biology to philosophy. Given that there’s no specific major for pre-med students, how on earth would you compare essentially any major + stem classes at Stanford to engineering at Harvard? And even if you could compare them, what would you be comparing? Stanford’s success in getting their pre-med students into medical school compared to Harvard’s success in getting it’s engineering students jobs? Again, the comparison makes no sense.</p>

<p>Furthermore, your original point doesn’t even follow. Even if Stanford was weak in medicine (pretty sure it isn’t btw, at least not any more) this has no influence on Stanford’s pre-med students. Stanford’s medical school/hospital are a completely different part of it than it’s L&S (or w/e S. has) and both probably have very little interaction with each other.</p>

<p>Lol, assuming the OP isn’t a ■■■■■, I conjecture him and friends at S. are arguing with each other over who made the worse decision/has worse future prospects. Stupid debate if that’s the case.</p>

<p>+1 on beyphy. What I meant, but put in better words. </p>

<p>I still second the thoughts on the OP making his decision though. He doesn’t seem at all happy with his decision.</p>
