Ok so stay with me guys because i really need some broadened opinion about my current situation:
Here is the deal i am a Freshman At my state's university and i majored in Physiology & Neurobiology(PNB). I was pretty determined to keep this major and then prolly minor in a non-science especially Philosophy, or prolly double major in PNB and Philosophy. But what has happened that recently i visited a family friend of my dad's who is an anesthesiologist At MassGen, now this guy's whole family are doctors. His father was a family practitioner, his son is in MS2, his brother is a Neurosurgeon, his other brother is a Cardiothoracic Surgeon, his daughter is a premed. So pretty much the whole family is either doctors or are going to be Doctors.
Now when i told him that i am majoring in PNB, he told me to drop the bio major like a hot potato. he said that it will be hard for me to get A's in advanced level PNB courses like Mammalian Endocrinology, Biochem, Biology of brain and other heavy duty courses that i will have to take in order to complete my major. His son who is in med school also told me to take an easy non-science major, so that i can keep my GPA up, coz according to him Bio major will **** me up. he said that he was a bio major and he knows what its like.
So now i am confused i mean i know that one should major in what they like, i like biology and anatomy, but i dont want those courses to hurt my GPA. Now i don't know what's an easy major? so help me out here guys, what should i do?
