Wait, what if I didn't apply for pre-med, but decided I wanted to do pre-med??

<p>Is it to late for me to change programs??</p>

<p>I'm sorry if I'm getting somethings confused (I most likely am)...</p>

<p>I don't think you apply for pre-med. All freshman attend the same undergrad school and majors/pre-professional tracks are all dealt with once you get there.</p>

<p>beowulf your fine. don't stress. just speak to your college advisor when there.</p>

<p>There's no such major as "pre-med" -- you can major in anything you want, you just need to take the standard "pre-med" sequence of courses (biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and math) as an undergraduate. It also doesn't matter what box you checked on the application as far as your major goes. It is expected that many Emory students will change majors once they begin learning about new disciplines. It's not like Cal Poly or the engineering schools at the UC's -- you applied to Emory College and you can major in anything offered at Emory College.</p>

<p>ohh, thank you!</p>

But aren't there programs that you have to choose to attend before hand?? Like engineering at princeton...</p>

Yes, there are. I just named a couple of examples -- any major at Cal Poly, engineering at UC schools... some schools have different schools within the school, such as Tisch or Stern at NYU... But even Emory's "professional" schools (the business school and the nursing school) don't take undergraduates until junior year.</p>
