Never heard of it. - sounds interesting.  I wouldn't be surprised if 
a few west coast schools do, due to the larger Asian populations out there.

On the other hand ..... (flammable social commentary follows)

    Maybe such departments are not in abundance because Asian-Americans 
    are not "oppressed enough" to be studied  :-)

Most schools separate your studies into 2 categories: science and non-science. 
They usually compute GPAs for each and then emphasize the science GPA.

Few med schools will accept you without the chemistry, physics, and
basic math.  A B.S. in bio is not a prerequisite by any means.  I remember
several years back seeing the percentages of successful applicants from
various degree programs.  Most successful were grads from ANY honors program, 
then came biomedical engineering, other engineerings, philosophy, ... and I've
forgotten the rest.

Each school is different.  Most indicate specifically which courses are
required for admission.

Tis best not to guess.  Applying to med school is expensive.

Well, the last time I took the SAT my math score dropped 150 points
(BTW, for anyone planning on taking standardized tests, some advice:
DON'T BE HUNG OVER GOING INTO THE EXAM.  It really affects your
score).  ETS didn't seem to object.

A 350 point improvement is a lot, but not (IMHO) necessarily proof of
cheating.  Someone who just did poorly (or was really hung over) the
first time, but studied hard and prepared for the next time could
improve that much.  At least, I think so.

A book on Computer Science, eh? I hardly know where to start. Try searching
your card catalog for the subjects: computer, algorithm, programming,
logic, automata, languages, artificial intelligence, networks, graph theory,
combinatorics, philosophy, psychology, databases, operating systems,
compilers, encryption, graphics, computer aided design, computer aided
manufacturing, communications, algebra, expert systems, neural nets,
computer architecture, cybernetics, robotics, speech processing,
vision processing and of course computer science.

That should give you a few sources to get started with. Good luck

Actually, rec.org.mensa has had a good deal of discussion
about ETS and tests.  But there's also been a lot of (almost
unbearable) flaming in there too.  Maybe you could scan
through the subject lines...

I truly believe that people can improve their (ETS) test 
scores several hundred points, especially if they work at it.  
It's just statistically rare, which is why ETS gets nervous.

I don't believe, however, that cheating in those test rooms
can be detected easily.   When I took the SAT and GRE, I
felt that it would have been only too easy for someone
to cheat given the lax proctoring.  In high school, I saw
some of my smart-but-lazy classmates cheat with the most
creative and ingenious methods... and the teachers were 
completely, trustingly, disgustingly unaware.

Have you seen an article in the Rolling Stones about a 
time-zone cheating scam for the SAT?  It involved a Princeton 
Review teacher and some LA high school students.  It's
interesting reading, that's for sure.  I don't remember
the issue date and article title, but I'll look it up if
you want.   Essentially, the teacher took the SAT in an
earlier time zone and phoned the nearly perfect answers to 
his cohorts immediately afterwards.  Then they quickly made 
copies of the answers, hid them in those cardboard-wrapped 
erasers, and distributed them to other students.  Guess what 
finally gave these people away:  a few students didn't follow
the instructions to "get at least *some* answers wrong in 
order to avoid suspicion" ==> they got uncharacteristically
high SAT scores ==> their guidance counselors became very
suspicious ==> ... ==> the cheating ring was broken.

Can you blame ETS for being nervous about cheating?
It's a touchy issue... for both sides.
