<p>I'm going to be a sophomore at Virginia Tech this fall - and am pursuing med school. Currently my major is in Biology - but after talking to students in med school and going through statistics, I'm thinking that choosing a different/easier/more interesting major and ending up with a higher GPA (while still completing the med school science requirements) might be more beneficial.</p>
<p>I am interested in Music and also languages - and was hoping I could get some feedback on this from CC. Major in Music and Double Minor in a Science/Language maybe?</p>
<p>What are that Advantages/Disadvantages of double minors or double majors?</p>
<p>Double major would require long hours in the library if you are planning to do pre med reqs also. I'm majoring in management along with a minor in french and management information systems along with premed. Still long hours in the library but i found my pace and work habits so I can keep up with it. Double minors I believe won't be as a big of an issue because it's only like 10 more credit hours, which you can easily do your senior or junior year.</p>
<p>I don't think you should double minor. If you are interested in a subject, don't tie yourself down with the requirements that come with a minor. Instead, pick and choose as many classes in it as you want/can fit into your schedule. Random example: An interest in history will be clear from a bunch of history classes showing up on your transcript. Nobody ever needs to know that you skipped the minor's European history requirement to free up more time in your schedule.</p>
