[quote=Anonymous]The benefit of Brown is that she can take her science courses for a grade and also take electives she's actually interested in S/NC--Brown speak for pass-fail. At many colleges, pre-meds satisfy any requirements not related to med school by taking as many guts as they possibly can so as not to hurt their overall GPA. So, while you're taking organic chem at Brown for a grade, you might take take a course in Egyptology or Russian history S/NC because you're interested and a friend raved about the course. You won't worry about the classmates who are majoring in these subjects and know a lot more about them than you do.If you can't do all of the 300 pages of reading this week,you won't freak.All you want to do is learn enough to pass.And if you don't, your "failure" won't show up on your transcript. At most schools, you'll be madly researching which non-science courses have the least reading and the easiest grading.What you're actually interested in won't be much of a factor in choosing which non-premed requisites you take.

It's as hard to get an A in organic chem at Brown as it is at most other colleges. But it's nice to be able to take some tough humanities courses too without worrying about your grade.[/quote]
