<p>curm, than you for posting this. I totally agree.</p>
<p>Your major does not matter, but not liking Bio and going to Med. School seems contradictory to me.</p>
<p>I completely agree. I totally understand the idea of majoring in something else, but to not like biology and wanting to become a doctor is - well - not likely going to work out well.</p>
<p>You only need to like biology as it relates to humans to become a physician. There are aspects that can be boring to some of us. Likewise you don’t need to like physics- just don’t plan on a physics heavy medical specialty for a career. Many different specialties in medicine and different personalities attracted to them. Psychiatrists/surgeons/internists for example vary vastly.</p>
<p>For the right person, a Spanish minor might be good. It would be helpful in medical field or other fields if med school does not work out.</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>I agree with taking some Spanish classes. My son will graduate with about 18 Spanish credits. However, won’t be getting a minor in that…some/many schools require WAAAY too many credits for a “Spanish minor”…it might as well be a second major. It’s not traditional minors of 18-21 credits.</p>
<p>“We can’t overestimate the value of a Classics major. Check this out: according to Association of American Medical Colleges, students who major or double-major in Classics have a better success rate getting into medical school than do students who concentrate solely in biology, microbiology, and other branches of science.” Princeton Review</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>LOL…my kids’ school boasts that their Classics majors have a 100% acceptance rate to law school and med school. So, there must be something to the curriculum that develops their thinking/reasoning skills. </p>
<p>I think the major must help with the MCAT because of how that exam is structured.</p>
