Hi all, I'm a senior high school student in Ontario. What are some of your experiences majoring in Physiology/Biochemistry, and which of the two, generally, has a lighter workload (is easier)? I've heard biochem is really important, so if I just majored in physio do ya'll think it'd cover enough biochem for the MCAT? I'm also thinking about minoring in Philosophy, or maybe History. Additionally, which of the two would more likely expose me to more job opportunities if I arrive to the conclusion that I won't be going to med school right after my undergrad?
extra info i just really felt like including:
I've read through a lot of the previous threads and from what I've picked up the general consensus is that what matters most is you pick what you are interested in, and what you know you'll do good at. I'm definitely not the greatest with life sciences, but I'm genuinely interested in the mechanisms responsible for sustaining life, so I've decided I'd take it anyway even if I'd have to work harder to get a high GPA. I'm just super nervous about dedicating my next four years and tens of thousands of dollars on something I've only spent a few days researching. (I've been slacking, unfortunately, and I now realize I really need to pull myself together and just decide on something so that I can apply to a university).
