upper division in broad coursework

[medrocks47]

Hey

So... for my non-science classes.... I don't really have a subject or field that I would minor in. I just can't grasp a non-science subject and like it a lot. So, I plan on taking a broad range of humanities courses (sociology, urban studies, philosophy, etc) and I'll try to see if any of them interests me. If none interests me, I won't be getting a minor. Instead I'll have a scatter of humanities courses.

My question is... should I include UPPER-DIVISION classes in these humanities subjects? Or can I simply do lower-division classes?

I know that medical schools want students to explore different subjects, which is why I'm venturing out and taking all these classes. I just wanted to know if UPPER-DIVISION is stressed.

If you already have a science major, then I don't think getting a humanities minor is critically important, so to answer your question: no, you probably don't have to take upper-division classes.

Bump.


So medical schools wont care that you never took upper division humanities courses (if you're a science major)? Just lower-division courses will suffice? BTW, I'm not getting a minor, just taking a variety of classes.

It wouldn't hurt to take more diverse classes, but if you're asking whether adcoms will grade you down for not taking those classes, then the answer is no.

Thanks for your advice.

I definitely will be taking a variety of subjects/classes, but what I wanted to make sure was: should I have some of them be Upper Div.

Upper Div versions are more in depth and maybe harder than lower div classes, so thats why I want to make sure it's okay to just take LD classes.
