Also iss anybody majoring/minoring in Sports Management? I'm really into sports, especially basketball and football. I've googled some schools that have this and there aren't many that show up. If you are majoring or minoring in it or know something, can you describe what it's like? Thanks   | ||

 Sports management... you'd probably need to take a human kinetics major along with a business minor. The science stuff isn't too bad, you'll just have to memorize a hell of a lot (bones, muscles etc.) | ||

But about sports management, I was thinking more into the marketting type, I'm taking AP statistics and I figured this would be a great help if I want to major in sporta management. But I'm thinking about taking anatomy, like sports pyschology and that kind of stuff. | ||

If you're interested in sports, maybe consider Exercise Biology? I know about 3 people that are majoring in that and they seem to really enjoy it. | ||

Chemistry isn't my thing, biology isn't my thing, hell, nothing in pharmacy is my thing. I just live through it, just like I lived through high school. :T | ||

Don't worry about it too much, you can always change your major. lots of things in college arn't exactly like they were in high school, so keep an open mind. For example, from doing physics in high school, what would you expect physics in college to be. Probably lots of kinemataics (study of moving/colliding bodies). Physics is nothing like that in college- a lot more charges, quantum, etc. | ||

I'm minoring in Music because I love it and because I don't really see myself making a career out of teaching or playing. But you never know. I'm only a freshman atm. | ||

Biology major which I absolutely hate with all the passion in the world was my least favorite class in high school and I suck at it. Would rather be a Chemistry major because I love it and can comprehend concepts much better. Chemistry requires less memorization of stupid shit which is opposite of biology which is basically all memorization. Third year in Biology can't turn back now, also filling out things for Premed, but with the grades I have now its not looking good. Make sure you major in something you like and don't let other people influence you, be a stubborn asshole that way you can be happy.  | ||

I'm thinking of majoring in biology or CS; but I'm not really sure. I will finish my first quarter of college in a few days so I'm in no rush. | ||

I guess if you're going into medicine or computers, the prereq majors are necessary... but for everyone else... =/ I was English and Psych double major. And what do I do now? Overseas education consultant and part time Starcraft caster. | ||

Eventually graduated with 2 majors that I'm somewhat interested in. With English I figured I could do something in advertising or editing, perhaps go to grad school for creative writing or something. To be honest, by the time I chose my majors I just wanted to get the hell outta school. ^^ | ||

Although parents didn't force me into, might of indirectly, but was determined to do school myself without their help. | ||

Lol But about sports management, I was thinking more into the marketting type, I'm taking AP statistics and I figured this would be a great help if I want to major in sporta management. But I'm thinking about taking anatomy, like sports pyschology and that kind of stuff. Biochemistry (and science in general) was quite misunderstood by me. Like other naive people, I figured it was a merge of high school biology and chemistry and, hey, I liked those courses in high school! Actually, biochem is just looking at life on a molecular level eg. protein interactions and structures, signalling pathways, DNA expression. It's actually pretty interesting stuff, you just can't exactly see your experiments except through ... secondary experiments lol The problem for me was that I didn't have a biochem course till 2nd year. First year was just general sciences and I had a single biochem course in the winter semester of 2nd year. So basically, we were in the dark for a while and by then, as kids are, we're too lazy/scared to switch programs. Even though we're young, we think "meh, I'm half done, I might as well finish". This is how a ton of people in my program in 4th year have no intentions of going into biochemistry research. Most people wants to go to med school, pharm school, law school, dentist school, uhhh mba? ... Yea, sry, just ranting about university. So the lesson is: research your degree and find out if you'll actually like it EDIT: Wow, a lot of people in the life sciences. Actually, it's not too late to switch to chemistry if you're in 2nd year. I knew a friend who did that and by that time he had all the prereqs for med school. Don't be afraid to change if you really hate your program or happen to find your calling in life. You're young, a few extra years in school isn't gonna ruin you! | ||

After highschool I wasn't really sure what I wanted to study -- something in science though. Math or physics were my main interests. But then physics got more boring and math got more awesome throughout my first year at university so I went into math. Also, my dad is a math prof at my school so I've grown up with it, which no doubt influenced me in some way. Anyone else write the Putnam last Saturday? Job prospects: None! Yay pure math... | ||

I think I'd go crazy teaching highschool or elementary school. That is a job I do not have the skills to do. I'll probably just end up in grad school for 5 years after my undergrad and then have no job, unless I get lucky. | ||

If I get in then I'm pretty sure I'll find a specialisation that I'm interested in eventually, just because there are so many options if you get into med school. Dude I feel the need to say this because I'm going to be in your shoes in 3 more semesters (hopefully), but GOOD LUCK, hope you get accepted~! | ||

If you take physics in general you get electrodynamics, thermodynamics, classical mechanics, quantum mechanics and nuclear physics, . And then each of those have a lot of subsystems which often are crossovers between them, like statistical mechanics being a quantum interpretation of thermodynamics. Anyhow, at least when I read physics in HS we had a lot of stuff on the general theory of relativity, electromagnetic waves, thermo etc, which is not mechanics at all, the only part we did not go into is quantum and that is understandable since it requires a ton of math not available to HS students. Come to think of it, we even did thermo, electromagnetic waves and relativity theory in elementary with a bit of nuclear physics thrown into the mix. Of course we did not go into them super deep but we did experiments on interference patterns, showed how a refrigerator works, electron orbitals and how they emit/absorb EM-waves when they jump and a basic why/how nuclear fission/fusion works. Hmm, now that I think back at what we did in elementary it was most of HS physics and even some of the first year in UNI, there was one thing I remember that I learned in elementary that I did not hear about again until second year in UNI. And about that, I went in a special class in elementary :p And oh, I'm into physics/math since they are so easy if you understand them and therefore I did not care enough to pick something else. | ||

After I finished college, I got a job as a buyer in the outsourcing department of a company. I used as much math as a junior high school kid would use - decimals, percents, and a billion excel sheets. After debating whether to shoot myself or quit the job, I decided the latter. Now I am working on my masters of math education. I think teaching math is at least somewhat meaningful, and at least I have a job after I graduate. | ||

I'm mostly concerned about picking something that I would like to do in order to maintain my happiness and sanity. What do you guys think about these subjects? It depends on how smart you are, chemical engineering can be really hard if you are not ready for it. They study statistical mechanics which is basically using quantum mechanics to construct all of thermodynamics from scratch, if you have a good sense of logic it is awesome to see how it all fits together but if you are an average Joe it is horrible. Social sciences are never hard so do whatever with it :p | ||
