Picking a major:
After this semester I will have accumulated ~80 hours of college classes in various disciplines and it's finally time for me to declare me a major..
After going through, Bio, Art, Art History, Math, Bio Med Engineering., Bio Engine. & after spending 4 semesters at 3 different schools...I finally cut it down to 2 choices..
I am going to base my choice or preference on which major will help me the most on MCAT (not on which one is easy).. I know all the introductory BCP classes would work fine on MCAT, but I like to get some extra grasp on sciences and I love Bio and may be it would help me out a little in med school too.
Classes that I need for both majors.
Principles of Genetics
Cell Biology
Principles of BioChem
General Microbiology
Intro to BioChem Lab.(2 hour class)
Other classes for a B.S. ...
BioChem classes.
Metabolism & Molecular bio
Adv. BioChem Lab or Research
Intro to Physical Chemistry
General Micro Bio lab.(4 hours). (seems weird.)
& 2 more BioChem electives.
MicroBio Classes
Medical MicroBio
Senior Seminar in MB
Metabolic Regulation
& 2 more MB electives
I think the my weakest subject is Inorganic chemistry and thats why I am leaning towards BioChem, so that I will do ok on the MCAT with it..
So, guys.. if you read through all this... please let me know which one would you choose based on the classes listed or on your personal experience..
It will be greatly appreciated...and Thanks..
