<p>Hello.</p>
<p>I'm a college student at the University of Michigan. I am currently taking courses that would put me on track for an Applied Math major with a sub-concentration in Mathematical Biology (Biomathematics). All the while, I'm also set to have a Biochemistry major.</p>
<p>I've recently thought about applying to medical school and I'll go forward with it, but there's a large possibility that med school doesn't go my way. (Only about 42% of applicants to an Allopathic Medical School in the US are accepted, if I'm recalling that fact correctly.)</p>
<p>As a back-up plan, would you recommend an Applied Math major or a Statistics major for job or grad school opportunities? Should I tack on a Statistics minor to the Applied Math major? The Statistics major will already have a Math minor with it, because I've taken several math courses.</p>
<p>The Statistics major would be an Honors Statistics concentration, btw, requiring me to write an Honors Thesis which might be good for job/grad school prospects?</p>
<p>I'd also like to now if either of these options would be better for med schools, if they care about this.</p>
<p>Currently, I have between a 3.95 and a 4.00 GPA if that helps.</p>
<p>It will be a little easier for me to do the Math major because of it having fewer requirements left, but if Stats majors are better at locking in jobs or have better after-BS options, I'll easily graduate in 4 years.</p>
<p>Also, I'm interested in both subject material.</p>
