<p>i'm in process of filling out my application. But i'm not sure about my major.
Some people said biology. Others said liberal arts like international studies.
I know some people major in economics and public policy. How to choose?
What about business major? I plan to apply the direct BA-MD program, but possibly opt out after my undergraduate. I think business major doesnt have to deal with patients, so it doesnt look too good from admission committee. Biology and science majors..everyone seems to be doing that. Any advice please.</p>
<p>You can major in anything your heart desires. Check out the Premed Topics forum (<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/forumdisplay.php?f=480%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/forumdisplay.php?f=480</a>) for some advice.</p>
<p>is business a good major as premed?</p>
<p>"I plan to apply the direct BA-MD program, but possibly opt out after my undergraduate"</p>
<p>you should not be applying to BA-MD programs unless you are 200% you want to be a doctor </p>
<p>if you're not doubting becoming a doctor but rather the individual program, then I suggest you not apply there in the first place. if you got in to that BA-MD, you would be robbing an equally qualified student's spot who actually wants to be in the medical program</p>
<p>no...no..I want to be a doctor in medicine. When I say opt out, I mean I will take the MCAT and if a different school offers me an admission after my junior year in college. I will consider the situation at that time. But you know how's doctor with variety of skills. Open up private practice, or run a hospital etc. You need some business skills. Since freshmen and sophomore are all about premed courses, and first two years of medical school are all about science courses. I like to be versatile and acquire liberal arts education plus some business classes. I like to be double major as undergraduate to expose more areas before medical school</p>
<p>i think if you do apply to a prog it def doesn't need to be accelerated stick with the longer ones</p>
<p>"you should not be applying to BA-MD programs unless you are 200% you want to be a doctor ". There is BA-MD with 8 years in length. Back to the topics, is that possible to be double major in undergraduate.</p>
