<p>I am going into premed and wanted to know a few things.. I am interested primarily in Bio and Biomedical sciences.. but was also suggested to look at psychology since I am interested in becoming a neurosurgeon and working with the brain. Is it possible for me to double major or major and minor in the two in four years and be ready for med school? Will this mean summer classes? how much more of a workload? what do you think?</p>
<p>It depends. How many AP credits are you coming in with? That will make a huge difference. You should also take Orgo I and II freshman year, and maybe even Biochem.
Also, most biology double majors do a major called "General Biology", which has fewer requirements. I am doing Cellular Molecular Biology though. You should also look into a neuroscience or biopsych major.
I am doing CMB and business double major. I've worked out my schedule so that I will graduate in 4 years with no summer classes. Here is the number of credits I'll have each semester: 16, 18, 18.5, 15.5, 17.5, 14.5, 15, 16. I came in with a lot of AP credits though.</p>
<p>Ur premed, why double major? You are just giving more money to the university than you have to. Just get 1 major and focus on getting into medical school, because thats all that will matter in the end, not your undergraduate degrees.</p>
<p>Or you can look at it this way:<br>
Since your already paying so much, why not take advantage and do as many things as you want? And how are you so sure you're gonna want to be a doctor or that you're gonna get in to med school? Orgo will kill many a doctors' dreams. So, why not take full advantage of your undergrad experience? I guess it's your perspective though.</p>
<p>You can definitely double major, do well, graduate in 4 years and it should not cost you too much more. The University does not complicate Double majoring within LSA.</p>
<p>I would just take the psych classes that I found interesting. Having a second major isn't that important. Also, I don't see much connection between psychology and neurosurgery.</p>
