Human Biology... generic as it gets.

 

[funkymunkytoes]

Biology. I would estimate that 80% of premeds major in biology, but that is not to say that 80% of those accepted into medical school are majoring in biology.

Me three!

When I decided to go the pre-med route though, when I was 16, I wanted to be any major except biology because it's so common. Well, I like it too much, lol. At my school, about 9 out of 10 life science majors (biology, biochem, neuroscience, anatomy & physiology, etc.) are pre-meds.

Kinesiology baby! The most bad ass of them all . I was a psych minor but had to drop it for stupid reasons, and probably would have been a religious studies minor if i had started earlier. But whatever, minors dont mean anything anyway. I guess its just my way of saying i would have liked to have taken more courses in that subject!

 

[NotAndrew]

42% of the 50% or 42% of the total?

Both. About 42% of total applicants matriculate, and about 42% of applicants who major in one of the biological sciences matriculate.

Physiological sciences for me... it used to be the kinesiology department back in the day. I believe the reason why they changed it was because the department started adding neuroscience courses and so it expanded to physiology.

 

[musicalmedicine]

Same here!! but put a micro at the beginning of biology.

Double major in Mathematics and General Studies

I'm a little surprised only one other person here is math-y...

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major (basically, a little more bio than biochem, but a little more chem than bio), minor in Mathematics I loves me some math, but didn't want anything more to do with it when the homework stopped having numbers (aka Abstract Math)!

 

[parafilm]
