Colleges & Universities Columbia University

<p>hey guys. i am only a junior and have been doing really nicely academic wise since junior year as compared to my last 2 years. i admit i screwed up my first 2 years pretty badly by not performing to my potential. anyways i have realized that i cannot go to Columbia with my gpa and i was wondering if you guys could help me out.
i was snooping around google and found this page:
[Columbia</a> Engineering | Columbia University Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/engineering]Columbia”>http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/engineering)</p>

<p>under the combined plan program, i could apparently study at these colleges and then go to columbia:</p>

<p>[Affiliated</a> Liberal Arts Colleges and Universities | Columbia University Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/engineering/combined/affils.php]Affiliated”>http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/engineering/combined/affils.php)</p>

<p>so now my real question is, can i study premed using this combined program thing? or is that not possible?</p>

<p>premed isn’t a major, so i guess yes?</p>

<p>you’re going to need to fit all the premed courses on top of “pre-engineering” courses to get into columbia for the 3-2 and your requirements to graduate from a liberal arts college.
trying to graduate from a lac with the 3-2 requirements completed is hard enough as it is.</p>

<p>so all in all would i be spending 3 years at one college then another 2 at columbia? if so i guess it’s not worth it cause i would have to spend 1 more year.</p>
