Unfortunattley, some of the realities of med school is the fact that not everyone gets in…and things can go wrong (bad score on mcats..etc.)

I figured I’d choose Biology as my major next year (i’ll be a freshman at the University of Illinois in Chicago). However, my dad told me that I should pick something else because there’s not alot you can do with just a biology major (i’m a fun outgoing girl so no one can see my sitting in a lab doing research).

A girl I was talking to the other day also brought up a point: Medical Schools look alot at your GPA….she said biology is tough and takes a lot of studying…so I should consider choosing an “easy” major to have a high g.p.a (she gave me examples such as psychology, sociology…) She also advised that I should choose something I like rather then choose something that I think will just help me in med school because she said undergrad is to enjoy yourself.
