<p>bradybest, med school is like law school: they basically only care about your GPA. They don’t really care what school you went to, and they don’t really care how hard the non-chem classes you took are because really how would they know.</p>
<p>Take the most difficult chem classes you can that you know you can still get an A/A- in, and for the core/non-major classes do whatever you can to pad your gpa.</p>
<p>As far as finance goes, for ibanking/private equity, i.e. UCIB and not UCIB:FM, it hurts a little that you’re not an econ major. Even for UCIB:FM they want quant people who do comp sci/math/stats/econ, that type of thing.
If you want to have a good shot in UCIB, make sure you get involved with some business-related clubs on campus: blue chips, maroon capital, phoenix funds, etc to show interest. Also keep you GPA above 3.8 for a good shot. (This is coming from a comp sci/econ major currently in ucib:fm)</p>
