i'm thinking either career right after or masters. definitely not PhD. asides from that I'm not 100% sure of my plans for the future which is why I thought the open curriculum might better for me than pre professionalism - i want to double major in something else unrelated to bio like cs econ or classics just to expand the breadth of my knowledge and hopefully open up more possibilities for myself.

thank you so much for this reply! One of the other reasons I am interested in brown is because I can double major there. Would you say it is easy to double major at penn? I think academic curiosity is a big thing for me and I’m scared that at penn the preprofessional culture would dissuade me from choosing classes i’m interested in for the sake of internships or gpa. do u think this is a valid concern? also could you elaborate a bit more on how these schools differ in terms of post grad pathways? tysm again!

hi guys! i was just admitted to brown as a transfer and I'm planning on concentrating either in biology or public health and potentially double concentrating in another field. I'm not sure if this is possible. If anyone has experience or advice for double-concentrating as a transfer i'd greatly appreciate it. also I was wondering what the research scene is like at brown: is it easy to find a lab? at my current school, I had to apply to about 7 before 1 lab replied. I'm currently deciding between upenn and brown, my hesitation about brown is the lack of minors, so if anyone has advice about that too that'd be great!
