<p>Hi, I plan to enroll at Case Western Reserve for college and I am unsure whether I should major in Psychology or Biology, but for pre-med which is better I know that I should study something I love and I love both feilds and no i don't plan on double majoring. Psychology seems more reasonable because I can get a higher GPA and increase my chances at med school and worst case scenario I don't get in anywhere, then I could go to graduate school for psychology and get a PHD and then go into teaching or private practice, what do you think I should do? </p>
<p>Also, would you reccomend I take AP BIO for either of these majors? It seems that I should just take the intro classes because it will refresh things for me, boost my GPA and overall probably help with MCAT's, right? What AP classes should i take in high school and what should I pick as my major? </p>
<p>PLEASE HELP SOMEONE IN SERIOUS NEED< I AM PRE_MEDWANNABE FOR GOD SAKES!!!!!</p>
<p>If It was me, If I majored in psychology I'd double major with something else like English, Spanish, music, art, creative writing , etc....</p>
<p>Biology is a lot tougher, but a major in it will also give you way more science than you will need for med school - not that that is a bad thing, because you will be very prepared. But having said that, biology majors are rather boring to admission reps. Sometimes they look for unique majors to balance the class out - it's just that I think "psychology" isn't all that unique. </p>
<p>Remember though, no matter what anyone says here, it's just an opinon. The admission reps with the med schools will tell you to major in anything you want as long as you take the required science and other courses (two years chemistry, one year biology, one year physics, one year Engish, sometimes one semester (or two) of calculus, and biochemistry is recommended).</p>
<p>As far as the AP classes, you can take them in high school to help you get a good foundation, but you should not use the "credit" for science college courses if you pass the AP exam because #1, you need those college level courses (taken in college) to pass your MCAT and #2 most all med schools won't accept AP credit for those requirements.</p>
