Basically, I'm really passionate about biology. Not just the medically relevant bits, but also ecology/conservation/theoretical view on evolution/pathogenesis. However, I'm currently a psychology major because (i) it's easier, (ii) having no labs attached to all my classes gives me much more free times to volunteer and hold leadership positions, and (iii) ironically, if I majored in biology at my school I wouldn't be able to fulfill all the pre-medical requirements before I graduated and would have to take a few the summer and fall after.
However, I do feel like maybe I'm making the wrong choice. If medicine didn't work out, I could 100% see myself going to graduate school in evolutionary biology, but wouldn't touch psychology graduate school with a ten foot pole (though medicine is high and above either choice at this point). Am I making the wrong decision? Has anyone been in a similar position? I keep telling myself that medicine is about sacrifices - I hope this is the right mindset!
