I am currently switching my major from Bio-Chemistry, to History. This isn't due to rigor, but rather the fact that I don't care about the BC degree; I'd rather be studying History; if Medical Schools don't care about my undergraduate degree in the first place; and that I'd have to spend an extra year in college to get the BC degree.
I told my brother this, who is currently a DO, and he told just about everyone who dropped out of his school had a non-science undergrad.
He said that the extra year in UG wouldn't matter in the long run, and I will most-likely need those upper-level science courses to prepare me for medical school?
This has me wondering, what is the typical first year courseload like?
I've had people tell me, "What you learn in a quarter, we have to learn in a day."
Is that an accurate assessment?
Do you think I should listen to my brother?
