<p>Hi! I am a senior in high school and have been accepted to both the schools I applied to.. YAY! I applied as a BS Biology major at both. I do want to go to medical school after my undergrad so don't worry Bio won't be useless! However, I would like to double major in Forensic Science and Investigation. The major at the university I am most likely going to seems really fun, they have fake crime scenes and houses where you dust for fingerprints and interpret evidence and those types of things! Now before you say, "Pre-Med students don't need forensic science, that would be totally useless!!" Let me explain the career path I have wanted to take for a few years now. I want to go to medical school to become a psychiatrist, then instead of working in a clinical or hospital setting, I want to work for the CIA. I feel that having the forensic science back round can't hurt in competitiveness and experience. What do you think? Would it be too hard to have these two together? Could it hurt me in any way? Please I need some serious advice! Thank you all soooo much! </p>

<p>Keep in mind that most people who start as pre-med don’t end up in medical school. Not necessarily because they can’t hack it, but they discover it’s not what they want to do. I’m in that category. Keep it in mind.</p>
<p>“I want to work for the CIA.”</p>
<p>The CIA has a glut of applicants with criminal justice and forensics backgrounds. And that’s not what they’re looking for. If your real, ultimate goal is to work for the CIA, forensic science won’t make you a stand-out applicant, and I don’t understand why you would want an MD to go this route, either. If you want competitive skills for the CIA, study math and computer science.</p>
