What are you or did you major in for your premed requirements....also say if you made it or if you're in the process of making it...oh and if u didn't make it..
Majored in English. Haven't made it, unless someone miraculously takes me off a waitlist. I know my English major itself is not what is keeping me out, but I do think I could have planned better. No matter what major you choose, you need to do well in your prereqs, and I didn't do as well as I should have. And I do think instead of spending time on some things, i.e. my honors thesis which I actually loved (and many other things, which I also loved), I would have benefited from taking some more upper level science courses that could improve my otherwise borderline BCPM. Or I could have shied away from some killer honors science courses that were unnecessary to take and wouldn't have gotten me in this mess in the first place. But ya, on the plus side, I love reading and writing about literature, so that definitely up-ed my cumulative GPA. And just because my school practices grade inflation for English courses, I was under a little bit less pressure for part of my load compared to some of my other friends who were doing other things
