So I'm currently a senior in high school and plan on being premed (MD) this fall at the university i choose to attend.still deciding between rutgers, uconn, penn state, and waiting on responses from NYU, GWU, lehigh, fordham, u of miami
my thought process is to not major in a science and I think that business, specifically finance, is a good choice for 2 reasons.
1- its different, and from what I know medical schools love different/unique
2- a business education can be an extremely valuable thing for a doctor running a practice
My question is how legitimate are those points? will i be putting myself in a situation where a competitive gpa would be too difficult to achieve by majoring in finance and also completing premed courses? realistically, by majoring in finance will i actually look better than the guy who majors in bio or premed or anything similar? lastly which of those schools would be a good premed school?
Also, How difficult is it to also pledge a fraternity while maintaining a high gpa?
thanks
