After talking to a few other members, I've decided to make a more specific poll just to spark some conversations and make it a little more interesting.
 
double post sry.

um, anyone know how to edit a poll?
 
Just click edit on your first post and then choose advanced options. You should be able to edit it that way. By the way didnt I read a while ago that you were quitting SDN cold turkey because its becoming an addiction. They alll come crawling back I tells ya 😉

ok i think the op meant that if your major closely resembles anythign that is posted up poll as that major
eg: biology can go for neuroscience also
comp eng=engineering more
brain and cogni=biol
biomed science=biology
bme=eng
etc. etc.

what about double majors?!??😛
 
Other: I've got a couple. My first undergraduate degree was as a double major in German and philosophy. My post-bacc was done as psych/pre-med. Graduate school was philosophy and medical ethics.
 
why in the world did you clump bio, chem, and physics into one response?
 
Biology and Spanish.

b/c its a core science class, the majority of the reason for making the poll was to determine everyones major outside of the premed curriculum. When i went back to change the poll it was too late and you can not make changes.
 
Biology Major

Minors in
Chemistry
Religious Studies
Biomedical Ethics
 
three-pronged attack: the microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics major! 👍

I'm thinking about adding psychology to the mix....mainly because I have an interest in it. That would also make me a triple major.

I salute triple majors, but I'm not one of them. The MIMG is actually a single major at UCLA 😀

Yeah me too. It done got my butt kicked good, heh.

I can understand that.....hence why I'm not a bio major. :meanie: I was e-mailing a professor at a school I might be transferring to about a research project in cellular physiology and he seemed very confused by the fact that I won't be a major in his department yet I know a "considerable amount about the subject" (quoting his e-mail). I don't think telling him that I'll be a psychology and German major there helped any..... :laugh:
 
Major: Forensic Science with a concentration in Forensic Biology

Minors: Biology, Chemistry

I'm probably one of the only applicants that will get to take a course entitled "Crime Scene Search & Recovery." 😀
 
Chemical Engineering, minor in bioprocess engineering and biotechnology.
 
wow, what a terrible poll structure. why would you lump chem/bio/phy together?
 
Majored on Physiology (which is basically the first year of medical school spread out over three years in undergrad)

Minored in Cem

Oh, and I did Honors for Physiology which means that you have to take special honors classes, complete a year of research culminating in your Senior Honors Thesis, and then you graduate and people think that Honors is the same thing as Summa Cum Laude. So much for the extra work- I should have taken a nap instead. 😴

That's why at my school they differentiate different honors. "University Honors" is the honors you are talking about, where you have to take extra honors courses and write a paper at the end, and do some other extra work. "Latin Honors" is Summa/Magna/Cum Laude. Fortunately, to be in the University Honors program your GPA must be higher than 3.5 so you automatically qualify for Latin Honors and therefore can say that you graduated with both Latinand University Honors.👍

They do that at my school too, but most people don't recognize it. They couldn't even fit all that stuff on my graduation announcements. Oh well. I was too busy to send them out anyway.
