Hello,
I do not know which to choose for my future career. I am a freshman in undergrad, and I want to make sure I know what my aim is. I am stuck between Law and Medical, mainly Psychiatry. Law I would want to try Business law, reading contracts and the such. I want to do Psychiatric Medicine because I have relatives and friends that suffer from mental illness, so that is why I am currently siding with Medicine. But I also have a great appeal in Law. I just don't know if I am mature enough to decide now. I am going to a very easy school for my first two years, so I could probably do my medical prerequisites starting next semester. I also have a sibling who applied and went to Medical School, but for very different reasons. So, what sort of classes should I take? Advanced ones or just the prerequisites? I am still undecided of my undergraduate degree. Currently I am deciding between English w/ Honors or Finance w/ Honors. I don't want to take Psychology because from my understanding it isn't that rooted in science. Once again, it could be my immaturity speaking. Heck, I don't even know all the differences between a DO and MD. For top medical programs, what GPA/MCAT should I aim for? I've gone through most of High School thinking about Law, but Medical has been there the whole time.
What classes should I take for medical pre reqs?
What should be my target MCAT/GPA for Medical Programs?
In Wisconsin, where should I aim to go for shadowing or internships? I know my sister shadowed the family doctor, so I might ask if I can shadow him.
With that, thanks for any replies!
