Lack of Difficult Science Classes

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys, for the past 3 years in high school, I've been ambivalent about what to do after high school, but I've mostly planned to college and major in mathematics, economics, or business (because my father works in similar fields and I've had no problems thus far) so my high school classes were picked for that road.</p>

<p>However the in the summer before my senior year, the I've had a change of heart. I've been seriously contemplating going to medical school, but the problem is my lack of difficult science classes. I've taken all of the AP/Honors math-related classes available at our school, but only will have taken 1 AP science class AP Environmental Science (which is a joke compared to the others). Its too late to change my schedules since AP Bio/Chem/Physics requires an application and pre-test the year before to be accepted for the next year.</p>

<p>So with this in mind, while applying to colleges should I go ahead and list my major as biochemistry, or is this lack of difficult science classes hurt my chances? Then should I go in undeclared, then choose a major, or will this effect my scheduling in college?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Most colleges do not require you to declare a major at the time of application. (Exceptions would include schools at which you apply directly to an engineering school.) However, some may ask you to specify a possible major, but many students just list "undecided" (because they are). If you are concerned that your science record is relatively poor, perhaps you should just list "undecided".</p>

<p>The truth is, until you have taken some college science courses, you don't really know whether or not pre-med is for you.</p>

<p>Allright, I will go ahead and list undecided. It is calming to know that many students take this course of action.
Thanks for the fast reply!</p>
