<p>Pre-med advising at Brandeis isn’t much different in structure than it is at other schools that don’t have a formal pre-med major. The “advisors” devote most of their time to juniors and seniors, with less going to sophomores, and precious little to freshmen. That may sound terrifying, but consider that the only major decision that a propective pre-med has to make during the initial years is when to take Orgo. If you’re considering taking it as a freshman, then the best person to ask is Prof. Snider, who teaches it in the Fall. He is both accessible and helpful.</p>
<p>If you start with Gen Chem, then your course track is pretty well set and is outlined on the Pre-Health website. </p>
<p>If your question is whether you should be pre-med, you’ll get your answer from your inner-self or from Orgo (if not sooner).</p>
