A college with a good journalism and medical program?

College Majors
1

<p>I'm a rising junior and I'm starting to think about colleges. I'm interested in journalism now (all my ECs are mostly journalism), but have the best grades in science and find those classes the most exciting. In other words, I'm bouncing between journalism and medical fields... wondering if there's a college that offers good programs in both in case I change my mind. </p>

<p>Oooh and stats as of now:
GPA: 5.6 W, 4.2 UW
Vball (play for rec), track
editor newspaper, write for local Chinese paper, school yearbook (hopefully editor next year)
science olympiad: regional award (but the team didn't make it to states.... D: )
volunteer at hospital and kid's camp</p>

<p>I'm looking for top schools (possibly Ivies and Northwestern if I have a chance... Asian in Jersey, best demographic huh?)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I think at this point, you should look into schools that you like and see if they program for medicine or not. Most schools that you are thinking do so there isn’t really much to it.</p>

<p>Now, you shouldn’t worry about pre-medicine yet. I feel like you can wait that after having a semester or two of introductory materials and see if you have guts to stick with pre-medicine (no insult intended). Many people drop out and I’ve seen many of my friends do so.</p>

<p>Also, remember that even if you graduate with science major, you can write for scientific magazine and continue on the field of journalism. So the options are there, and I wouldn’t restrict yourself to journalism yet. Just explore.</p>
