Dear SDN,
I'm a second-year thinking about graduating early. I'm feeling financial pressure. This would mean dumping a second major, which I'm fine with (I don't need to take a class to learn a subject) but the adcoms might not be. I think I will have an average number of extra currics, so really my main question is: how many successful applicants do not have double majors / dual degrees?
I'll still be a student in grad/med school, so seemingly life can't change much, yet every grad student I talk to says "enjoy your college years." Come on, college isn't that fun. College classes are often just as boring as high school classes, yet college friends are not as cool as high school ones. College feels like a day job feels to an artist, it's a cushion that I'm building for myself in case I don't accomplish something truly significant. I think I want to get on to grad school before I become completely disillusioned.
