I am not very fond of my current major, Exercise Science. I am considering switching to Biology. Does this in any way hurt my chances of getting into medical school..I am ONLY a sophomore. The Bio degree would be a B.A. and would allow me to take more classes I am interested in. Plus I transferred here from another school that I didn't like. I seem a tad wishywashy and undecisive don't I.. 🙄

thanks all!

Don't think it would matter. Do whatever you will enjoy and do well in. 😎

It doesn't hurt your chances one bit.

changed majors 5 times and it was never brought up.
went to 5 different colleges in 3 different states and this was never brought up.

I was asked why I chose medicine over my initial major of nuclear engineering. You are fine as long as you show you have made a mature well thought out decision with experience(shadowing,volunteer,etc) to back it up.

LOL.
No man.
I changed majors 8 times. Yes, 8. I think I set a record at my university actually - when my advisor saw it during graduation checkout she was like, is this right?!
And it looks as though I'm (somehow) going to be a doctor, so no, it doesn't hurt.
