<p>OK. MCB is not the premed major like many think. In MCB and the other similar majors (MB, MEB, etc.) you will only study tiny things. Unless your want to be a neurologist or a immunologist, MCB will not be really good for a pre-health things. In MCB you will never look at the whole animal (though, in MB and MEB you will end up looking at entire unicellular organisms, i guess).</p>
<p>Strongly consider IB in L&S or the Physiology and Metabolism major in CNR.</p>
<p>Take a look at the loose IB requirements (you essentially take what you want from the entire IB dept. following a couple guidelines) v. the straight-jacket MCB major which locks you into a subtrack.</p>
