Hey everyone - so I have been interested in going to med school for a very long time, but a semester in Spain made me doubt choosing to go to med school. While I was there I absolutely loved thinking and speaking in Spanish and learning about other European cultures and politics. I couldn't lose all of those experiences by sticking to just medicine...
My problem is that now that the semester is nearly half over, and I'm getting used to University life in the States again, I'm strongly considering putting the prereqs back into my schedule so I can take the MCAT and apply.
Here's my question: Right now I am on track to graduate with a double major in Spanish and Global Studies. Should I just graduate next year with these majors and then take the other prereqs that I need after graduation? Or should I cut out the GS major, just majoring in Spanish, and squeeze in some of the science courses while I'm still an undergraduate then finish up the others after I graduate next year?
Money is kind of an issue for me so graduating with just Spanish and getting in some more prereqs before I graduate would be ideal because I would have more financial aid to cover it.
Honestly, would just having the single Spanish major look alright for med schools? I have a lot of international experience and volunteering, but I would have a lot of coursework on my transcript and very little to show for it academically.
Sorry for the long post, but any advice would help a ton!
