How different was your major by the time you graduated?

[NotASerialKiller]

Similar to how people say med students often end up in different specialties that they originally thought, when advising pre-meds I usually tell them that most undergrads switch majors so they shouldn't stress over it. I believe the consensus is that that's generally true, but what about for the neurotic maniacs on SDN? Did you guys change majors 7 times, or stay the course throughout?

For me: Anthro > Chem > Bio

Currently Biology. I want to switch to English, but I'm not sure.

Had a plan written out before I got on campus; three years later, the only changes were a couple of classes that I had just put in as [generic music class]. Music -> music!

Started as a chemistry major, graduated as a chemistry major.

Your avatar makes me miss music theory.


Business Admin --> Psychology --> Chemistry --> Biochem --> Biology --> Philosophy --> Music

I'll be the first person to graduate from my school with a degree in music since the early 1900s. The degree restarted at the beginning of my junior year so I'll be a supersenior graduating this spring. Pre-med through most of it, but just wanted to study music for awhile.

If I wasn't so afraid of the GPA ramifications, I would have done physics or math.

For me it goes Biology -(freshman switch) -> Chemistry (currently a senior now).

Neuroscience --> Biology --> Biological Neuroscience

Pre-physical therapy major at CC ---> Biology.

Waiting for the thread to reach at least 3 pages 😉

biology -> biochemistry -> chemistry -> biology w/ a chem minor lol

I am jealous of your biology and chemistry department then.

People who changed their major 2+ times, did you take more than 4 years to graduate? Just reading this thread is stressing me out🤔

Biochemistry --> Communication Science and Disorders --> Biological Science.
Graduated during summer instead of spring.

Would've stayed in physics too if the labs didn't suck so much

The calc series is how we weed out the peons from the true math nerds.

 

[redsox93]

Undeclared -> Education -> Biochem. Shoulda double majored in ed and biochem so I could fall back on teaching in case med school doesn't work out but oh well.

I felt like real analysis did that to me

You got pretty far then. That's something. Real analysis was one of my three favorite courses.

The math nerds are keeping all of the good math behind a bunch of boring grindy grunt work, this is their secret

You gotta build your own ladder if you want to climb up to the treehouse.

Real analysis II is way better than I. You just have to get through I and then coast for II

Yeah totally. Once I learned FTGT I could never go back. It's just WAY too cool.

Leaving this here since we're geeking out on math stuff

There is actually a key flaw in this joke

Eh those don't bother me as much as seeing differentials thrown around all willy nilly.
