My school doesn't offer a bachelor's public health, but I want to get my MD/MPH in the future..
My pre-med advisor and science residential college advisor are pulling everyone who got a B or below on the last intro to bio exam, and asking us to consider a change in major from biology to something that would better suit our interests.
In my case, I think they may be right. I think my GPA would be much better with a major related to public health, rather than biology, because the med schools I'm interested in are also adamantly discouraging biology majors unless we're truly passionate about bio.
I'm in my 1st semester. I know it's early, but I don't want my GPA to suffer from science courses as a bio major which I hear are not totally necessary. Willing to take a minor in bio.
What type of majors would best suit an MPH?
Thanks again and sorry for my naivety. It seems like everyone is freaking out in my class.
