Is it a good idea to do Business along with Pre-Med

<p>I honestly have a passion with both fields of study. In the summer time I spend hours volunteering at a hospital while during school I actively run a small amazon merchant as well as observe and trade in the stock market. I'm kind of havi a difficult time deciding on what I want to do but am thinking about the possibility of doing both. </p>

<p>Is it wise to to take business courses at McCombs along with Pre Med courses? Will I be in a severe disadvantage when I apply to med schools? Are the courses simply too much to handle together? </p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>You’ll be fine. I have many friends that are business/pre-med. You’ll have to take extra classes since some pre-med pre-reqs do not overlap with the business degree, but for the most part you will in 4 years. </p>

<p>There is no disadvantage when applying to medical school. As long as you are well rounded, you will be competitive.</p>

<p>I’d say do it. Pharma hedge funds actually hire MDs to look at the probability of future drugs being approved by the FDA. Might be something that’d interest you.</p>

<p>And I believe I remember seeing your resume when my bank recruited at McCombs.</p>

<p>@i didn’t send a resume yet haha. Thanks for the advice though.</p>
