Hello Everyone
I had a question that has been on my mind and I didn’t know who to ask, so I thought this would be a good place to start. My undergraduate major is Healthcare Management from a University in my state. I started at the community college level because I got my GED instead of my high school diploma and therefore was ineligible to start at the university level. While I was at the community college I earned a transfer degree an (Associate of Arts). I took all business electives for my degree, my original goal was to double major with a degree in Healthcare Management and then a major in Biology. I kept that plan and now have both my bachelor’s degrees in Healthcare Management and Biology. I have all of my Medical School prerequisites plus my electives completed in my Biology Degree. My dream job is to become a Medical Director of a Hospital someday when I have several years of clinical practice under my belt. Now here we are four years later and I am seeing all of these articles saying that medical schools look down to double majoring. I really had no choice but to, I would have had to go back to school and get them done on top of my degree. If I did that, financial aid would have not paid for the courses. due to me already being graduated with my Bachelors degree. The only way they would pay for them is to double major. So with all that said, how am I going to spin this and keep it truthful to an Admissions Committee that this is why I had to do it. Also for a scenario like this will they look badly on it. Any information that you have would be very helpful and greatly appreciated.
