<p>I have a heavy interest in business/possible I-banking/Law, but would love the option of being able to apply to med school 6 years down the road if I don’t find myself successful in business.</p>
<p>I know this might seem a bit strange, but I was wondering if it is possible to futhfill the pre-med track while being enrolled in the ILR school.</p>
<p>I think you might be happier as an Econ major in Arts. Premeds don’t traditionally go to ILR, but I’m sure it’s possible.</p>
<p>do A&S… i think A&S would be more flexible rather than ILR</p>
<p>yet, is it impossible though to do it and stay in ILR?</p>
<p>Hows Human Ecology and Premed?</p>
<p>Can gomestar/tun help out a bit here?</p>
<p>I want to attend ILR AND futhfill my pre-med requirements, and am wondering if it is physically possible (using up the elective courses offered).</p>
<p>Plus, wouldn’t that make me one hell of an interesting medical school candidate?</p>
<p>Ya it definitely would make u one, not sure about ur question tho…gomestar where are uuu lol</p>
<p>i’m not sure how you would fit in the pre-med requirements with the ILR requirements. Ask the office of student services in ILR to see if it is possible first.</p>
<p>sry, dont mean to hijack thread, but what IS ILR??</p>
<p>School of Industrial and Labor Relations lol.</p>
<p>…so is it like a business school…?</p>
<p>The school is divided into six departments:</p>
<p>Collective Bargaining, Labor Law, and Labor History, Human Resource Studies, International and Comparative Labor Relations, Labor Economics, Organizational Behavior, Social Statistics!</p>
<p>All students graduate with a B.S. In ILR…but the school provides the background and potential that can lead into so many career paths…i.e. human resources, business, law…etc.</p>
<p>can students in teh college of human ecology take hotel classes?</p>
<p>I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it’s probably impossible. Assuming you have all of the necessary AP’s to get out of both FWS, one of the distribution requirements, and both Micro/Macro econ, you’re probably still looking at an incredibly heavy courseload.</p>
<p>What is FWS?</p>
<p>I am going to take the AP Micro test…and I could self-study for AP Macro as well (if I find out about my acceptance).</p>
<p>I am also taking the AP Biology & AP Chemistry exam, although I’ve heard its recommended to retake those if one wants to go pre-med.</p>
<p>FWS = Freshman Writing Seminar. These are mandatory writing classes that freshman need to take. Depending on the college you’re in, you can get out of one or both of the required FWS with an AP English Language or Literature test. As for the distribution requirements in ILR, there are three, and AP credit can be granted for one of these three. Most people use an AP science or history class to fulfill one of them. Definitely take both economics tests too.</p>
<p>Hey tun/gomestar/anyone else currentlyy attending ILR, do you think you could ask your ILR advisor if it is possible to complete a Pre-med program?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>What exactly are the pre-med requirements?</p>
<p>i won’t be on campus for another week and the odds of me remembering are minimal … just call or email the office of student services yourself:</p>

<p>Hi Cardene:
I understand your angst in making your decision, but I would not advise Tun or Gomestar to ask their advisor about another student’s needs for many reasons. The most paramount reason is that there is limited time with the advisor, and they should spend that time talking about their own needs. That being said, I would take Gomestar’s advice and call the ILR advising office directly using the link he provided. You might also find this FAQ link from Cornell’s Health Career’s website helpful [Cornell Health Careers FAQ](<a href=“Career Services | Student & Campus Life | Cornell University”>Career Services | Student & Campus Life | Cornell University). Remember, for pre-med there are minimum requirements for most med schools, but some med schools require more courses. Have you thought about a post-baccalaureate program for pre-med?</p>
