If you are a Chemistry/premed/enginner/math/physics major expect a lot of work. If not, you wont do shit.

My friends who are majoring in architecture actually have a pretty big workload. As an engineering major (mechanical), I can vouch that we do get quite a lot of work. And I'm just a freshman. From what I've seen so far, it looks like the premed and chemical engineers get the worst of it.
-
Architecture is a challenging major, but the employment is not good at the moment. Pre-medicine is very challenging believe me.
-
I took architecture lecture this semester (need an art credit for engineering) and my professor said it's pretty tough to get started as an architect. And I wouldn't doubt pre med is difficult. Frankly I wouldn't be up to the task.

If you truly want to be a doctor, you put in the extra work and somehow pull it out of your ass. I always think I am so -blam!-ed, but then I get an A on the midterm. A lot of the stress is outside factors like applications, interviews, and all the other shit you have to do to get accepted into medical school.
-
I see. At this point, I'm really just trying to get my basics out the way and start jumping into the classes that are directly related to the major. Then I'll start applying for internships to establish some job security and credentials. What do you plan to specialize in as a doctor?
-
Orthopedics. I am going to be shadowing my orthopedic doctor this summer and shadowing another orthopedic at Rush hospital.
-
Nice. It sounds like you have everything in order.
-
I feel that I have a strong chance of getting into medical school, but I am only a freshmen. Next year is the weed out year, but most likely I will be the one that causes others to get weeded out.
-
Ah, the weed out process. We have a freshman engineering program that weeded out almost half of the people... during the first semester.
-
The first semester/trimester puts people into their place.
-
Indeed. Less competition for us.
-
[quote]enginner[/quote]Depends.
-
So would you count computer science as math?
-
Definitely. CS is a demanding major that pays off.
-
My roommate is computer science. Calculus is one of the hardest courses at my University, and he's a smart guy to struggle with it. He'll spend seriously like five hours a night for a week straight at the library coding some stuff. And [sometimes] still not get an A for whatever reason, hah. For computer science, you're looking at a lot of projects rather than homework, and a LOT of time spent at the library.
-
Computer science is programming, so you'll be living in your room all week hammering out code, especially in your junior and senior years.
