[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some public universities accept a lot of AP credits so it might theoretically be possible. But otherwise I think it is very unlikely one can graduate in 4 years while doing both engineering and pre-med.

And as an aside, duel majoring in two very demanding majors is a very grim way to spend 18-22. [/quote]

Almost no AP accepted at DDs school and she and the others are all doing just fine. Their T10 is extremely supportive. They all are in the same boat and do not consider their lives or goals grim. They do have time for music/theater and other nonstem clubs. Premed is not a major: BME is the major and premed is not more than a couple extra courses in addition to BME. [/quote]

Good lord. Your daughter’s school represents 1 school. She hasn’t even accomplished anything yet. Stop talking in absolute terms.[/quote]

Well here is another: Agree premed is not a second major with engineering it is just a path that adds a few classes. DD at an ivy in engineering but not premed. She is ChemE-molecular engineering and about half of the students her major are premeds. O-Chem is required. Mine is not premed and the only classes the premed engineers have to take in addition to this engineering major are 2-3 semesters of Bio and psychology. The required engineering statistics course counts for med school; gen chem, Ochem, biochem, physics and calc through diffEQ are all part of the engineering major. They all do research during the semester, premeds and non, and the premeds seem to fit in clinical stuff in summer, most of the rest aim industry or phd so they do industry internships or more research in the summer. Consulting is the "backup job" joke. The ivy is very supportive and the Med and phD matriculation stats are impressive. Many students pick colleges and majors within the college to be challenged.

Ma'am, I think you are all wrong. [/quote]
