[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does premed major and subjects have unknown and different answers? Business finance classes are different school to school...economic principles different per school?

Nonsense.  Engineering rank matters more than any major. Maker spaces, research opportunities/money for research, top notch professors and instruction all matter!!!  [/quote]

Many pre-meds have their GPA driven by their humanities classes, not by their science classes. Ditto for business and finance majors. Economics, excepting specific Quantitative Economics, also is this way. Even students at a liberal arts college on a BS Physics track take more non-quantitative courses than Physics and Math.

Separately, Pre-med is not a major and courses taken do vary from student to student (the number of common classes, such as PChem, for a Premed are many fewer than their non-required classes).

By contrast, engineering students are overwhelmingly taking engineering classes (and take few non-quantitative or humanities classes). ABET even outlines which topics need to be covered in which year for each degree.

The circumstances are very different between engineering and any of those other degrees PP mentioned. [/quote]
