I’ve been changing my mind a lot about what I want to major in and I was wondering if I could hear the opinions of other people. Ever since high school, I’ve wanted to study Neuroscience so I walked into UMICH thinking that I was going to declare myself a Neuroscience major. I am now a sophomore (still premed) and I’m thinking about switching to Biomolecular Science, only because I am worried about not having a good career if Med School doesn’t work out right away or at all. I still love Neuroscience but I figured that I would still be able to pursue Neurology if I go to med school so majoring in Neuroscience might not be the best idea for me. I dont know if i want to study it hardcore and end up hating it because of the stress of getting into med school and then be stuck with the major. Right now I want to be able to maintain a good GPA because after looking at the Neuroscience degree requirements, I see a lot of random classes that I would not be interested in taking at all and are extremely difficult (STATS, a bunch of psych classes- i dont enjoy psych).
Is Biomolecular science a good science degree to have in case med school doesn’t work out? I dont want to keep thinking about not getting in, but i just want to be realistic and proactive. I also like the fact that I wouldn’t have to take Stats because I am really not looking forward to that class at all. I’m fine with the other classes such as Genetics, Biochem, etc since I would need those for the MCAT anyway.
I also really wanted to major in Physiology but unfortunately umich doesn’t have that degree:( Are there any other science degrees at umich that would help me out in this way?
Thanks!!
