think again. philosophy is the study of everything that the hard sciences are based upon. isaac newton, chemist/mathematician, was a natural philosopher at heart, along with all his peers that helped him on his way. when you are using your computer/calculator to figure out the stresses on a strut, a philosopher was there before you to figure out how that crap worked and what it meant.

you'd be surprised. philosophy majors score the highest on the LSAT and they are a shoo-in for MD degrees.

i've been thinking about taking the MCAT and the LSAT, just for grins. i could major in test taking. my ACT scores were off the hook, and i was still seeing pink elephants from the night before. i passed all my board exams, for RRT, on the first go with flying colors. the tests are much harder than they need to be for what i am doing. i have yet to meet anyone that passed them all on the first go, including my boss. i've heard of a few, but not met them.
