Well, bmost pre-med at D’s school had minor(s) and/or double/ triple majors.



I’m wiling to bet the house that that statement is a gross exaggeration, and flat out incorrect. Perhaps double/triple majors among your D’s cohort – full-ride merit scholars, so by definition rock stars on campus – but “most” premeds are barely scraping by with B’s in one major, much less two, particularly at a public school.

“Most” premeds are gonna tend to the average/mean/median and I hardly think any college has the average/median student completing a double/triple major. Plus there is no need, unless the student has direct interest, bcos med schools don’t care about double majors. Perhaps an Honors Thesis is a better option than a double – go deep instead of wide.

fwiw: according to an article in the college newspaper, <10% of Miami grads double major. Are they all premeds? :rolleyes:
