minor

I am a second year premed student majoring in biomedical sciences and have a minor in pysch. I am thinking about minoring in chemistry but is it worth it? Do med schools even look at minors? If i were to take up this second minor i would not be able to finish a semester early. My goal is to go...

Hi all, I'm a rising junior this fall, and I'm on track to finish my Biology B.S. early, and as such, have time to pursue another major (or double minor). I know already that doing this will really give me minimal benefit in terms of being admitted to medical school. It's more just something I...

Hi friends, I'm back again. (Did you miss me? :) ) I had a quick question regarding which would be better for medical school. I have the option of getting a BA in biology with a minor in whatever I choose, or just a BS in biology. I wanted to know if medical schools have a preference (I've been...

I'm majoring in biology but I plan on minoring in music. Since my school transcript won't show minors, is there a place you could put it down in the AADSAS? I know minors don't matter that much but if there's an option to put it on the application, I think it'd still be good to do so. Either...

I fully understand that double majoring has no real positive impact on the chances of getting into medical school; it will definitely stand in the way of prepping for the MCAT and keeping my GPA up. However, I am passionate about intelligence studies. If not double majoring, would it be possible...

I am pretty much a fetus when it comes to my journey towards a career in medicine. I am currently earning my associates degree at a community college in psychology and I aspire to be a psychiatrist. I'm planning on transferring to a CSU in 2019, however, I am unsure if I should take on a double...

Hi everyone! I've been complaining about how I never learned Spanish in high school so I decided to finally do something about it so I don't ever have regrets. My first question is, do you/ someone you know have the experience of going from zero to fluent in a language you just started...

I am a Biology major with a chemistry/psychology double minor and my AMCAS has already been verified. I want to drop the psychology minor. Can I do this since my app has already been verified?

Hi everyone! I am a rising senior and have finished essentially all my major courses already. With the extra room in my schedule, I am debating whether I should pursue a minor (probably either in English or History) or just take random classes that interest me. Any thoughts on whether one is...

Hi, I am a UCSD fifth year finishing with BS and BA degrees in Biochemistry/Cell Biology and Anthropology in March, as well as a Global Health minor. My first two years were abysmal, but my third, fourth, and fifth years have seen a tremendous upward GPA trend, especially with taking 20-22 units...

Hi everyone I am an international student studying in the US since 2012. Currently, my major is cell and molecular bio (CAM) and I have finished 102 credits out of 120 to graduate. I have a 4.00 GPA that I want to maintain. When I take MCAT practice AAMC tests, I get 121 in CARS and 127 in...

Hello, I am interested in becoming a Physical Therapist, but I am just beginning to enter a university for my BS in Exercise Science/Kinesiology. Also, I am interested in studying either horticulture, geology, or English as a minor. Would it be wise for me to pursue a minor in a unrelated field...

Hi, I want to ask the wise SDNers about something as I have a question about sGPA vs. Minor completion priority. My sGPA as I am heading senior year this Fall is in the 3.2 range. I am thinking of applying to dental school right after my senior year, so I have to plan out my senior year schedule...

Hi everyone! This thread might sound a bit redundant or even a bit mislead, but I am trying to work out my pre-reqs so I can officially declare myself pre-med, but my school is coming down hard on me to declare my major. So here's my situation. I love psychology. I'm fascinated by the way the...

Hey all, So I was originally planning on doing a minor in Peace and Conflict Studies. However, it would require a lot of courses in my senior year in addition to my main major courses (Biology). My options right now are: 1. Muster through and pony up the cash for the credits to get the minor...

Hey all, I'm approaching the end of my first year of my undergrad, but I took 36 credits of college courses in high school, so I "could be" a full year ahead. However, since a lot of my science courses have to be taken consecutively, there's basically no way I'm going to be able to graduate with...

I know that for med school, the general consensus is that a minor does nothing to help your application. My major is in health and I need one more class for a biology minor. My question is: do you think having the biology minor would help in any way possibly getting a research position as a job...

I am a freshman undergraduate student and am considering a minor in either Spanish or Global Health. There is only enough room for one of them in my schedule and I don't know which would be better. Both are interesting but Spanish comes with the possibility of being able to speak another...

Hello there. I know there are multiple threads out there with answers to questions that are similar to mine. However, I feel as though my situation is different and because of that, I could not seem to find a useful answer in any of the other threads. I am a freshman in College, and I am just...
