[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a reason for "weed-out" classes in college for premeds. If these students cannot handle the rigor and stress of a difficult class, how will they handle medical school? Frankly, I wouldn't want them in the position of making life and death decisions.[/quote]

Yes, there’s a reason for weed out classes but it’s not the one you think it is. They have to weed people out of certain majors because they don’t have enough professors in the upper classes and there’s a bunch of other majors that nobody wants to do that they need to push kids to. It has nothing to do with the kids ability. It’s a game. [/quote]

What a load of BS!

Medical school is hard.  Hence, undergrad premed courses will be weed out classes.  Better to find out you can't handle it while there's still time to change your major.  If you can't figure out how to pass Orgo, then I certainly don't think you will get into Med school or if you manage to do that, you likely will struggle.

the world does not need more Biology majors on the premed track who cannot score well on MCATS and get into med school.  There is already enough of them.[/quote]
