<p>So this is gonna be basically the opposite version that I posted on the pre med boards.</p>
<p>So, I recently got into University of Michigan, and as a going to be sophomore, I have to decide my major or focus soon. </p>
<p>As much as I love business (money, ability to possibly travel, engage in business deals and presentations all are fun to me for some god awful reasons), I think I might be more in love with medicine. I'd love to be a doctor in an emergency room. The very thought of it makes me smile.</p>
<p>The thing is, pre med classes are hard. And I know that especially at Michigan, I'm not gonna be the top in my classes anymore. And I have to accept that somehow. What I ask of this board is, has anyone been successful taking both pre med and pre business types of classes? Am I overloading myself? Will I even have a life if I choose this route? I know which pre med classes there are at U Michigan, but not the pre business classes, so how are the upper level business classes? Are they hard? Maybe I'm being a bit vague, but I'm honestly not sure how upper level business classes work. </p>
<p>The thing is that, I'm looking at business (which I probably shouldn't be) as more of a safety thing than medicine, and that if I can't do medicine, I'll go into business. I don't want with taking both, to destroy my GPA and ruin chances for both. </p>
<p>If you want both, go to Ross, major in finance or something, and do the premed requisite classes. Then do an MBA/MD. Or maybe you'll decide that organic chem sucks and you don't want to do med anymore.</p>
<p>I wanted to be a doctor until I realized that....I had to take chem. Then I said corporate law, and now I've been in my finance phase for a year and a half. Longest lasting phase ever.</p>
<p>oh then um do LSA econ and prebiz, graduate on time, and then get a job, work for a few years then go back for an MBA/MD. But if you want that possibility you have to have finished the premed classes.</p>
<p>Yeah that's the thing. Since I've already taking most of the intro business classes, I'm wondering how hard the upper level business classes are generally. That way I can compare answers with the pre med board, to see their take on how hard pre med classes are.</p>
<p>So if both are hard, I'll choose one, if both are doable together, I'll do both of them together sorta thing.</p>
<p>I don't hate science. In fact, during high school, science was the only thing that I did honors for and did decent without studying. I'm just worried that I won't be actually good at science enough to be competitive for it, and that it'll lower my GPA for a chance at a good B-School.</p>
<p>if you don't do well in science, it will hurt your chances to get into a med school more than it will hurt your chances to get into a good B-school</p>
<p>Just realize that getting into med school is extremely difficult, If you think that you can make good grades in the medical prereqs and enjoy science you should have no problem getting accepted to a decent school. You're already at an advantage being that you are going to a top school, unfortunately the competition will be extremely stiff if you are thinking of going to a top med school. But if you truly want to be a physician ranking of schools shouldn't matter much.</p>
<p>However if you are purely making the decision on difficulty, for whatever reason, then business is by far the easier route.</p>
