<p>I am starting my undergraduate studies this fall, and will be majoring in Biochemistry. My current planned course sequence will lead to a B.A. degree. I am considering going to graduate school for biochemistry. I am confident my undergraduate education will be rigorous in preparing me for this, but am wondering if the B.A. (rather than a B.S.) could negatively impact me in terms of application, lab placement, etc.
Any insight is appreciated, thanks.</p>
<p>Doesn’t matter at all. Different schools, and different programs within the same school, have entirely different ways of deciding what is a BA and what is a BS. Nobody pays attention to it.</p>
