<p>The Human Biology, Health, and Society major is offered in College of HumEc. It seems to be a major that’s kind of geared towards the premed majors. It’s primarily a bio major but with a lot of applied courses that can be applied to health care, sociology, and public administration. I feel like A&S Bio major is more for people who want to study biology and HBHS is more for those who would like to take more applied courses so that they can use their bio knowledge in other areas and not necessarily in research.</p>
<p>There’s a lot of premeds in Cornell A&S who are not bio majors. This causes the intro bio courses to be harder than it is (due to tougher curve and competition).</p>
<p>Also, you can apply to both A&S and Human Ecology and I think it might be true that it is easier to get into humec than A&S as transferring from A&S to HumEc is easier than the other way around. I think there’s a link on the Cornell site that has all the profiles (EC, MCAT scores, GPA, etc) of med school applicants.</p>
