I don't know...luder98 said:I was told by a UCSF grad dentist that the school liked his engineering background. He said they loved those advanced math classes that he took. According to them, it'd help students well if they become involved in researches.
My dentist (UOP grad) also said UOP and other schools liked his engineering background. I'm not lobbying for applicants with engineering background, but it seems like d-schools like this type of non-traditional students.
On the other hand, it's no doubt that bio science related majors will help d-students in first few quarters.
IMO, the bottom line is that if you can do well in an area, and are determined, you will do fine in any other areas that you're interested in.
If you are in engineering at any university and have above a 3.5 GPA, you are like a scientific gem. The engineering curriculum is absolutely insane... I have another major that equals engineering-- ACS approved chemistry... nutso!! I don't think I would have any fun with that and I regret not pursuing the ancient Greek and pre-Greek (sick of Roman) history I desperately love and wish I got to learn more about. I will never have the opportunity to study these things again 🙁
