Sorry for bothering you with a pre-med question, but I was hoping to get the perspectives of people who are already through their undergrad work and in med school . . . (thanks!)
I am currently trying to decide if I should abandon my Humanities major to take pre-med classes. I'm a very motivated, hard-working person, and would probably be disappointed with a career that doesn't require working my tail off. And I love the idea of a job where I can actually have a tangible impact on others' lives.
But I don't especially love science. I'm very good at it, and could certainly tolerate 32+ units of science. But some people in these forums sound like they sit in an armchair and read a CRC handbook for pleasure. I would probably not take more than the general ed. requirements for science if I wasn't planning on med school.
So that's where I'm at. If I'm not extraordinarily passionate about science, is that an indication that I would be a train wreck in med school, or am I in a fairly common situation? Were any of you in that position as an undergrad?
Once again, sorry for the bother, but I really do appreciate your input!
