<p>Hi Everyone, </p>
<p>I'm registering for classes tomorrow, and I have been stuck between which major I should major in. I find both fields fascinating very much. At OSU, BC/BP is apparently the hardest major in the science department, but that doesn't deter me away from it. I took AP Chem in high school, and that was my favorite class of all four years. I am minoring in music for sure, and I am going on the Pre-Medical track.
I did research between the two fields. In terms of salary and future job outlooks, I would say chem engineer is better. However, if I took BC/BP, I feel like it would be more useful for medical school. I need to decide on my major before registering classes, but I'm getting nowhere. Will someone list the pros and cons of both majors? </p>
<p>It depends on your goals. Where do you want to take your degree to take you. If you reallywant to become a physician, I suggest you do neither major. Both have too much potential to destroy your gpa. Just do Bio, study for your mcats and maintain as close to a 4.00 gpa as you can. </p>
<p>About job outlooks. Keep in mind its only for today’s trend. By the time you graduate, the market can change. This is especially true for engineering. One field may be hot for a few years then go cold and alternate. </p>
<p>However, despite the difficulty, biophysics may be a good medium. You learn your bio and whatnot, and on top of that, you will learn how to critically think from your physics components (Which is useful since physics and engineering majors typically score higher on mcats). Additionally, since your physics will be good you could transition to engineering. Engineering and physics are siblings. </p>
