Hey there SDN,
Due to its rigor and the "GPA killer factor", is it a bad idea to major in Chemistry for pre-med? I am 100% set on my goal of going to Med School and I want nothing else than to be a Doc. I was just accepted to the University of Texas at Ausin to study Psychology and pre-med (I applied a long time ago) and I'm thinking I would truly enjoy a chemistry major much more.
HOWEVER, I know what everyone says. It's a GPA killer, it's very time consuming and it doesn't give you enough time to make As AND volunteer and other ECs. I do love Chemistry with a passion, more than i like Psychology, I am pretty dang good at math and I am killing Gen Chem 1 right now with a 98 in the course 3/4 of the way through.
Do y'all think I have a better shot at med school if i major in Psych or Chemistry?
Thanks y'all!
