<p>Ok, so I've been thinking chemistry or biology as my major, I want to go to medical school, but I'm not exactly sure if those are right. Here's a little bit about what I like.</p>
<p>I really like chemistry, pretty much all of it, just don't know how exciting it would be to major in it. I like biology, but not really the photosynthesis/plant/ecological side, I prefer the genetics type stuff. I absolutely love calculus. I'm in psychology and enjoy it, but it's not something I would like to major in. I like psychology, but it's not something I'd want to major in. I'm fascinated by the brain, but don't know if I would find neuroscience to be as fascinating as I'd think. I hate english and history.</p>
<p>From that are there any majors that seem to fit that? I'm thinking of math, but the higher level abstract theory stuff is kinda intimidating. Maybe biochem or neuroscience?</p>
<p>Suggestions are appreciated. I know this is kind of stupid but I'm just trying to see if there's anyone that might have been in a similar situation.</p>
<p>There are companies that mathematically model genetics stuff (i don't know anything about genetics). You could major in math and bio to set you for a career in bioinformatics or computational bio. </p>
<p>I'm a math major, and I didn't particularly like the abstract stuff. The abstract courses are really hard, and don't really interest me. I'm only getting the major because I greatly enjoy doing all the non-proof-based classes. I take math to apply it. So I took a bunch of fun classes and sucked it up while I had to do proofs, and I think it was worth it. Don't shy away from math just because of a couple classes. Just because you major in something doesn't mean you have to love every class you take.</p>
<p>On the upside of taking a proof-based course, once you take one, every class that doesn't have proofs will be so much easier in comparison. Before I took real analysis I was scared of taking some math classes (even those without proofs), especially if I didn't know anyone else taking it. I took real analysis a year ago and have since taken a few other classes that weren't proof based and I don't really find them difficult at all. I've signed up for a bunch since, knew no one else that I could study with, and I wasn't even remotely concerned.</p>
<p>If the math major at your college requires abstract courses, then I wouldn't recommend being a math major because you will not be motivated to study material you're not really interested in. Biology, chemistry, biochem, and neuroscience sound like better fits for your interests and a math minor would be a great complement.</p>
<p>It would make things easier if you could narrow down your interests to the single one you like the most, because you can't possibly study everything within a 4-year structure. The best thing I can come up with is biochem or molecular bio if your school offers it. I'm not sure it's entirely possible to fit in a math minor since the degree may not leave much room for it. In any case, I would base the decision on the major that gives you the education that satisfies you, where you take classes of your own interest. For me, I wouldn't major in something if I knew that I had to deal with classes of an area that did not interest me. I know that I am not too fond of theoretical math myself, so I wouldn't be happy with such a major.</p>
<p>With a math minor, you are free to choose electives of your liking, such as differential equations, statistics, and applied linear algebra.</p>
<p>Whatever you decide to do, don't pick a school because of one major they have. No matter what you decide on now there is probably a 50% chance you'll change your mind.</p>
