Hi! I was just accepted to the University of Colorado yesterday as an Integrative Physiology major. I come from a family with a few physicians and scientists, and I am very well aware of the long process. I will be focusing my undergraduate work with the primary intent being medical school. I do have a backup plan if that does not work, but I am very excited. Now, I know you can major in whatever you want, but I love science. Colorado has two majors that interest me. The first is the Integrative Physiology program, which says is deigned to help kids trying to enter medical school and other graduate health schools. It focuses on taking anatomy and physiology classes, and has all the pre-reqs except orgo.
It seems like the ideal program, except the Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology major seems extremely interesting also as find this field of biology highly interesting. However, I can see it being slightly harder to maintain a high GPA with this major. Also, as stupid as this sounds, Integrative Physiology is the university's second most popular freshman major, and I would imagine that a good majority are pre med. I am already sick of the pre med talk, as kids at my high school like to brag about "majoring in pre med next year" lol, so MCDB has the factor that less people are in the program.
Which would you pick?
