Hey everyone,
I'm a high school senior, and I applied to a lot of schools with "Biology" as my intended major. However, many of the schools I applied to (and the school I'm looking into) offer a Biochem major as well.
What exactly is Biochemistry? Like what do you learn about? I am a good student in science and I enjoy it a lot, and throughout high school I never got anything below an A in a science course (it's not saying much, but I've taken Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Anatomy and Physiology).
I guess this also goes along with my main question, but how important is it to make yourself different from the rest of med school applicants? I know this is very important in applying to undergrad, but I really do enjoy science (bio is my favorite), and I know that it'll help immensely on the MCAT, so will it hurt my chances at all if I just do a "generic" bio/biochem major?
Thanks for any help!
