6. changing majors

When i first came to Mississippi College i thought that i may have wanted to major in biology. i have since discovered that that particular path is not for me. i am not saying this because the classes are to hard or anything like that, i just do not like biology. i think this is a good thing because now that i know what i don't want to do it will be much easier to figure out what i do want to do.
i know that i still want to minor in biology just because it would help me so much in med-school. i just do not know what i want to major in. the major that i am leaning the most heavily toward right now is a chemistry major. i have always liked chemistry more than biology just because i like numbers more than i do just memorizing stuff.
i guess what i am really wondering about is whether or not to trow on another minor. i feel like my true passion has always been physics, the only problem with that is i don't know how much it would help me when i go to med-school. i would really like to minor in physics just because i enjoy it so much, but with a second minor that might mean going to college for five years. i really have know idea what to do here so if you have any suggestions i would really appreciate them. thanks for reading.

I think that since you already realize that your not happy and are ready for a change then you should go ahead and do what you think will work for you best and help you in your future. Good luck with your decision!

I am glad that you found out what makes you happy. Biology is cool, but if you prefer physics and that is what you have a passion for then you should definitely pursue that.

It is possible to get a physics major and go to med school. It will be a lot of work, but if you enjoy the subject matter do it. Be aware that med school is not so much tough analysis as major amounts of memory work and vocabulary.

Med school admissions people REALLY like physics majors because it shows diversity and a willingness to take on a challenge.

If you don't want to do the physics major, do the minor with a chem major and take the biology courses that will help you on the MCAT.
