<p>If Psychology is a relatively easy major, why don't all pre-meds major in psych?</p>
<ol>
<li>Some are hard working and don’t want to take the “easy route”</li>
<li>Some don’t realize it’s easy or think it through</li>
<li>Some want a major that they could actually get a job in if they don’t get into med school.</li>
<li>Some pick a major based on what they actually enjoy doing in hopes of that helping them do better.</li>
</ol>
<p>There are endless amounts of reasons</p>
<p>Because they’re not particularly interested in the field and would rather spend 4 years of their life studying something they actually like?</p>
<p>Perhaps they like something better??? Doh!</p>
<p>thanks for some of your comical responses. The “easy” route would allow medical students to explore other opportunities,research,volunteer,etc.</p>
<p>It’s not “easy” if you find the subject boring.</p>
<p>^^Exactly, my D contemplated majoring in Psych and she reported that the ‘soft-psych’ classes were not only boring, but repetitive. As a result it was had to stay awake in class – more likely, there was no need to.</p>
