<p>I didn’t mean to separate the two, as in people who go to college to learn do not have a plan, and those who go to college to get a job are not there to learn. I was specifically thinking about a girl I met on a Tufts visit who was there just to get a degree as a backup in case her dream of starting a bakery didn’t work out; she was majoring in religious studies (which is fine, just noting it). I would not consider her as pre-professional. </p>
<p>Also, someone (I think franstar) wanted me to discuss the stats I was given in my email exchange with Health Professions. I’ve started a new thread to share, as other pre-med @ UofC threads seemed outdated or dead, and the post seemed a bit off-topic for this specific thread. It’s here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/1436332-pre-medicine-uchicago.html#post15242097[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/1436332-pre-medicine-uchicago.html#post15242097</a></p>
