    I tend to think John is on to something here. Four-hour organic chem labs have a way of weeding out the less-than-serious.

    They definitely do, no doubt. I would think that would get rid of the students that just think they will be doctors but have no drive for it.

    But I will never see biology as a harder major than mechanical engineering. Yes, I am biased, and yes John that got under my skin, but I don't see how that is true in anyway.

    Bio is not an easy major though, I'm not saying that. Being in the STEM family means it has to have some difficulty.

    A good friend of mine daughter just graduated from the University of Minnesota Vet School.

    Talk there was that students that flunk out of Vet school become doctors.

  • Computer science?

    Those degrees are pretty much junk by the time you get a 4 year degree.

    The ability to program at length, an excellent manner, in structured form, is probably okay.

    Whatever. I used to want to get a physician's assistant degree back in the day. But, then

    I was talked out of it - they said it would never really catch on. But genetics, etc. was fun.

    Computer Science covers a lot more than programming these days. IT and IET are usually considered computer science.

    Isn't that how all biased liberal reporters act?
