Hi! I'm a sophomore at Berkeley studying Neurobiology and Computer Science. My goal is to pursue an MD/PhD and my interest is in brain imaging using CS. As of grades for this semester, I am at around a 3.65 because of a B+, B+, and B- in the 3 introductory CS courses at Berkeley (CS 61A, CS 61B, and CS 70 for those of you at Berkeley). I am doing really well in my pre-med reqs (got As in OChem I and II) but I am worried that CS will bring my GPA down and make me less competitive for MD/PhD programs (My dream school would be UCLA/Caltech or Stanford). Dropping CS will help my GPA, but I have just fallen in love with computer science...any advice? Also for MD/PhD specifically, do they look more at scores (GPA + MCAT) or at individual projects?
