Freshman year at NYU - The Business of Medicine

<p>Hey!
I am a Freshman at NYU, and I'm currently on the premed track. I don't know if this is the correct forum, but I'm looking for advice from current NYU students. I understand that Medical Schools are crazily competitive when it comes into admissions, but unless I go into medicine, I'm not very interested in majoring in the Sciences. So my question is, If I organize my 4-year plan so that I'm working towards an economics degree, would that hurt my chances of gaining admission into med school? And if after 4 years, I decide medicine is not the correct path for me, would it be impossible to prepare for the GMAT in time and apply for admission to business schools (Is it the norm to take that exam during undergrad, or do a lot of people spend a year studying for it after college, and then get a job, take time off, and go to business school a few years after undergrad).</p>

<p>Any study tips or inside knowledge about premed is appreciated. Feel free to lead me to other blog posts or threads. Thank you!</p>
