I am a double major in economics and psychology. I realized that there is nothing more interesting to me than health and related fields of study.
I attempted to start pre-med freshmen year and took a bio class that I did horribly in (D-). My school has a forgiveness program that allows for me to take the course again and attempt to raise my grade in order to replace the horrible grade received.
I decided to drop pre-med because I felt that I was not smart enough, went through a lot financially, family matters, and homesickness. I realized more and more, however, while I was studying my courses without a pre-med emphasis, that I had no reason to study. My dream of becoming a doctor had been crushed by a miserable semester of Bio and I didn't know what to do.
I am a sophomore now, studying in the last semester. I've realized that giving up on a dream is just as foolish as commiting suicide and so wish to restart my pre-med route. This means that I will have to take summer school for my remaining two summers and possibly take a half a year or a year off after graduation to prepare for MCAT's and applications more thoroughly.
What I was hoping to get a response on was whether or not it is a smart to keep my double major. If I decided on one major, I would have enough room to fulfill my pre-med requirements during undergrad and study for MCAT's simultaneously. Which is the smarter move?
