First off, let me start off by saying I'm sure people here are tired of hearing this question but I just wanted some friendly advice and maybe even some personal experiences from others that have been in my situation. I'll go ahead and preemptively say sorry if there is another post out there that resembles this one.
My situation is this, I was intending on going through my undergrad. with a B.S. in Biology and maybe a minor in something else I was interested in. What I didn't count on was actually really enjoying calculus and all my math classes and starting to really consider should I change my major to a B.S. in mathematics, with a concentration in Statistics. I understand medical schools don't necessarily care what you degree is in as long as you have the GPA, EC's, Pre-Reqs etc. complete. Plus this also got me thinking about the worst case scenario of what if I don't get accepted ever, what can I do with one degree vs. the other. I could potentially double major in the both of them but I would be going over 140 total hours (I'm transferring in with 43 because I started at a C.C.). Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. I seriously haven't made a decision yet because I actually enjoy both equally and just wanted to hear some input.
