Double Major Concerns

<p>As I am looking over UVA's course list on SIS I am trying to start figuring out what i want to take, or what I need to take to satisfy my majors. Before I continue I'll just say that I am an Echols Scholar, so my choices arent really driven by any area requirements or anything (I've accepted the fact that I should take at least a few courses that don't pertain to my area of study, just cuz i think they are interesting). My real dilemma is I'm not exactly sure what I want to major in. I know this doesn't need to be an issue now, since I have time to declare, but I'm someone who really likes to plan things in advance. There are a few things I do know: 1. I will definitely major in biology, and 2. I really would like to double major, just for the extra challenge. My problem is for a few months now I've been juggling around 2 ideas, either I could double major in bio and stats, or in bio and chem. Ive already seen that the bio/stat double wouldn't be too bad, as there arent that many requirements for the stat major. the bio/chem double is a different story....it has a lot of requirements, and I want to know if I want to do this for sure so I can start planning to meet all of them. I like chem so much more than stats, but I wanted some advise on which I should pick. I have heard that the bio/chem double is insanely hard, (I'm up for a challenge but at the same time I don't want a weekly mental breakdown lol) so if anyone has tried the bio/chem double major, your opinions on this would be greatly appreciated!</p>
