<p>I’m planning on majoring in Biological sciences and Linguistics.</p>

<p>I know i have no outstanding honors but i’m hoping to make up for that with other parts of my app… =\ Does neone know someone who didn’t have that many honors who got in? hehe that would be some comfort.</p>

<p>The biosci major is kill-er</p>

<p>Your stats are great, and ECs/awards are fine. Write good essays, and you’ll have a pretty good shot at it.</p>

<p>This has been discussed before. They like to weed out premeds…hard. They have a really high attrition rate.</p>

<p>uh ohhh. =\ do you think my interest in linguistics as a double or a minor would help my chances? or is that another really popular field?</p>

8

<p>I don’t think it is terribly popular, but intended majors don’t matter a whole lot because more than 50% of kids change them.</p>
