Focus Program and premed?

If I'm planning to follow the premed track, would you guys suggest I apply for the focus program? It seems to take up a lot of time and I don't know if this would be a wise decision if I plan to do premed and double major in something like bio and econ. What do you think?

It's fine to do pre-med, double major, and FOCUS - shouldn't cause you any issues. If there is a particular program you are interested in, apply for it. If nothing interests you, don't apply for it. FOCUS is a GPA helper as well as most people get As....although there may be slightly more work depending. And it varies greatly depending on the program. But don't worry about not being able to fulfill requirements, not having enough time with FOCUS - this shouldn't be a concern.
