| Dogs Rule said: Again, I can only speak as far as I know, but if his chosen med school requires an interview as part of the admissions phase, it will be much harder convincing the interviewers that he is fully prepared for a scientific intensive program such as medicine if his degree is academic rather than hard science. In real life (ie when not thinking outside the box for his project), it would not be worth the risk considering most of his competition will have that hard scientific knowledge under their belt. Regarding your wall post: What we save in tuition, we more than pay back in higher taxes. ;) ( or should that be a frowny face) |
Ah, but the time value of money means that a dollar in the hand now is worth (1.09 x year) dollars in the future!
And yeah, I wouldn't seriously propose being an English major if you're headed towards med school (although it can be and is done). But flames is just doing a school project right now (right?), so I figured I'd toss the idea out there.
@flames_of:
If you're serious about planning for your future already, flames, I have two peices of advice: don't be an English major unless you want to teach/do law, and more importantly, don't start planning your future in detail just yet. Use your undergrad years, especially your general credit courses, to explore other possible interests, and see if another career may suit you better.
Med school is a serious commitment, and practicing medicine is an incredible responsibility: don't take these burdens on yourself unless you're confident that it's what you want to do for the rest of your life.
Either way, best of luck on your project!
