<p>Georgetown is my top school but i can't decide if I should apply to the college (biochem) or the school of nursing and health studies (human health). I plan on going to med school and becoming a doctor. Which major is best for the mcats, what school is better? thanks!</p>
<p>I would direct you to look at the pre-med forums for some info on majors, because the consensus has always been that your major has absolutely no effect on your chances for med school. The MCAT can always be studied for, and non-science majors often receive very high scores, especially in VR (this is kind of a self-selecting group, but ehh.)</p>
<p>Anyway, given the above information, it comes down to this being an entirely personal choice. As you know, biochem would put you in the College, where there’s probably more flexibility with courses. Human science would put you in the NHS, which seems to be a pretty tight-knit group, but many of your courses are predetermined. I’ve met a lot of hu. sci. majors, and they all seem to be pretty happy, I’d say; same goes for biochem, though.</p>
<p>Personally, I wouldn’t ever do either of them; they’re kind of boring in my book, especially when you consider that you’ll be studying these subjects for the rest of your life. If you’re absolutely set on one or the other, though, more power to you. I’d probably lean toward biochem for the flexibility (because I myself am in the College), but you can’t really go wrong with either. You can switch schools once you’re accepted, or even once you’ve already gotten here, but it’s a little it of a headache. </p>
<p>If you want any more info, feel free to ask!</p>
