| I may have posted this before on an earlier thread of this nature, but my H's neurosurgeon (H had a discectomy) has his ug degree in philosophy. The doc knew he wanted med school but he liked philosophy so he majored in that and just took the bio/chem/math classes he needed to apply to med school as electives. I'm not sure he even bothered to declare himself premed.
Our orthodontist's S is going to UT Austin next year as premed with a major in studio art. He'll do the same as the neuro guy and just take his bio/chem stuff as electives. Frankly, I think the kid wants to just do the art and his parents are making him take the premed classes as a "backup", but he is really good at math and science, just his passion is art. |
