<p>Update: Haven’t spoken to anyone at BC about this yet, but I was thinking, since I’m deficient in terms of courses anyway and will have to take an extra semester, I may as well switch to Environmental Geoscience. Some of the bio courses that I’ve taken can count towards the requirements in this major. I did Envirothon in high school and took classes in environmental topics in both high school and college. In fact, my senior project involved GIS.</p>
<p>Haven’t presented this plan to my parents yet, but I don’t know if I should - or even need to. They love me, but remain critical of me doing anything outside biology.</p>
<p>Somewhat funny side note of interest: After high school, I almost applied for a paid internship with USGS, but my parents convinced me that I would just be wasting time getting coffee for the workers; they wanted me to focus on “useful skills for the future” instead…like…um…biology.</p>
