Colleges and Universities A-Z Rice University

<p>I have already committed to Rice University and am pretty excited. Now, however, I'm getting nervous about graduate school. It has been a dream of mind to attend The Yale School of Medicine and receive a combined MD/MBA degree. My issue is, I don't know what to major in and what research, extracurriculars, etc. I need to do to strengthen my medical school application. </p>

<p>I'm planning on majoring in Cognitive Science (possibly making it a double major with economics) and minoring in Business and already have a little bit of research experience. Are those good major/minor choices?</p>

<p>(Note, I already have all of my pre-recs for medical school complete aside from Organic Chemistry which I'm taking in the summer, so I'll be graduating from Rice in two years rather than four)</p>

<p>I’m in a similar boat, I’m hoping to go to Yale for grad school too. ^_^</p>

<p>I would assume Cognitive Sciences would be a good major for a pre-med, but I’m a social sciences guy so I’m probably not the best source of advice.</p>

<p>There is a good chance you will get to college and change your mind completely. While your undergraduate education is important, it is a time to figure out what you want from life, enjoy yourself and try new things.</p>

<p>Get to college first. See what you think. Talk to people who are seniors and professors. Then decide. The more you worry about a maybe 4 years from now, the less awesome your college experience will be</p>
