Is this a possible major if you want to be pre med?

yes. as long as you take 1 year of gen chem, 1 year of gen bio, 1 year of orgo, 1 year of physics, 1 years of english, and for some schools 1 semester of biochem/molbio. major doesnt matter - classes do. make sure you meet the course requirements for the schools you want to go to even if you have to take classes in addition to you major.

Some schools have a bioinformatics major which is usually just a mixture of core computer science and biology classes. If your school offers it, you might want to check it out.

You can major is pretty much anything as long you take the requirements that schools ask for (Orgo, Calc, Bio..etc)

Although, the CS (Computer science, I don't know if that's exactly the same, but it's what our school offers..) lifestyle does require you to have a grip on your time management skills, because otherwise you end up having to stay up for 72 hours straight, coding and debugging for that final project that's due, heh.

And coding seems to be something that can be really hard and frustrating for some people, but you can probably get a feel for how easily it comes to you after you take some college level coding classes. But if you really love it, then you shouldn't have a problem majoring in it and doing well (which is generally true of any major).

If you can stomach the CpE part of it, it doesn't matter what your major is so long as you succeed in the pre-reqs. I couldn't, but it does make for an interesting interview question.
