@FutureSurgeon27 : I would not recommend that pathway unless you know you want to get involved in research earlier (that may help an application if your GPA becomes slightly lackluster trying to complete that curriculum. Not only via having “research” on a resume, but perhaps winning awards, publications, gap year benefits, or better co-op placements when at Tech). This field of study at Emory is nothing special…you will basically have course schedules that look like more ambitious pre-health and pre-grad students. You pick a major of your choice (ideally STEM because they will encompass pre-health requirements), and then try to fullfill Tech math and physics pre-reqs. where necessary. This is the deviation from a normal Emory pre-health. Most will not take beyond calc. 2, and most will not take calculus based physics. Overall, as indicated in the thread on STEM pathways at Emory, Emory is strong from STEM undergraduate education. You will just be a bit more stressed than others on that pathway, especially depending upon the major.
