<p>Which school within Washu should I apply to for premed?</p>
<p>You can major in anything you want, and still take the “pre med” required courses. Just pick a school you want, and worry anout pre med later. The only exception to that statement is to consider carefully where you can max out your GPA. It is a little bit of a stereotype, but engineering is a tougher GPA major generally.</p>
<p>which one seems to be the most popular?</p>
<p>would CAS be easier than Eng?</p>
<p>you don’t want to do what’s “easier” 
. that’s not the type of student wustl wants coming in, i’m sure.</p>
<p>pick what school matches your interests. art sci is the liberal arts division, so it has most of the majors at the university. but if you’re not good at english or political science or foreign languages (what most people might say are “easier” than engineering, just for an example), then you might do worse in those classes because you don’t like them. do what you feel most interested in, and since flexibility is so prevalent at wash u, you can easily double major across schools. you don’t want to be miserable for 4 years spending most of your time doing something you hate merely because you might get a better GPA.</p>
<p>haha, actually I would argue that’s one of the major types of students Wash U ends up attracting. CAS would be easier. Interests are good.</p>
<p>Artsci isn’t just verbal stuff. Don’t forget that natural sciences, social sciences, and mathematics falls into artsci as well.</p>
<p>Go to artsci if you want to pursue higher education after undergrad, go into engineering if, well, you want to be an engineer.</p>
<p>one thing to consider, the engineering school does not give out +'s or -'s, therefore you either get an A (4) B (3), etc etc…so if you find yourself getting a lot of B+s, that’ll hurt…</p>
<p>and here’s some advice from a premed at Wash U that I know…</p>
<p>if you’re 100% sure you want to go to med school, I would suggest picking an easier major (anthro in CAS because it has a lot of public health classes or anything in the b-school works too). However, if you have any doubt whatsoever about med school, I would (as others have suggested) pick a major in whatever field/school you have an interest in (aka for a plan B). Also keep in mind, unlike some other colleges, it is very easy to transfer between schools at Wash U so you are not by any means committed when you apply.</p>
