<p>I've heard most people that are going to med school are majoring in cell biology/ biochemistry. But, what about bioengineering? Has anyone heard of that major? Is it really hard? I'm looking into that major at Rice.</p>
<p>PreMed, Biology, Chemistry, Biomedical engineering will all cover the major courses that any med school wants to see.</p>
<p>Bioengineering is hard, but a lot of students go into medicine regardless. Basically you take everything else that other "pre-med" majors take, but slightly more difficult. At Cal, we have to take a more intense physics series, higher math, and some computer science, but other than these and upper division classes, the majors are very similar.</p>
<p>my advice (hell, most college advisers' advices):</p>
<p>don't major in something to impress the med school people, study what interests you! All that is required to get into med scool is a list of required COURSES. Picking a major having to do with science/tech./bio/chem/math is not going to improve your chances. If you feel like it, major in Musi! Or art for that matter!</p>
<p>i second what the above poster said. Major in whatever interests you- whether it be science or religion or even business. Studying whatever you are interested in will help your GPA. Med schools like to take applicants from a variety of majors. They don't want a whole class filled with strictly bio majors.</p>
<p>Just major what you are interested in, dedicate yourself to it, and do well.</p>
<p>anything you want!</p>
<p>I agree with all of the above!</p>
