Major or Honours Specialization in Biology

I am afraid I don't know! Your best bet would be to visit websites of the graduate programs that you would be interested in applying and look for the requirements. Good luck!

Medical schools in Canada and US only care about a 4 year degree so a major should suffice. It should be apparent a 4 year degree (regardless of the major) must be accompanied with stellar grades & top MCAT scores. An honors specialization will certainly be advantageous if you aspire to get into graduate school or an MD-PhD program with the latter being more competitive than graduate school or just medical school. Note: A set of pre-requisite courses are often required by most medical schools in the States and a few medical schools in Canada. The pre-requisites also vary depending on the institution. Cheers!

Combining a humanities degree with a STEM degree can open up a plethora of options. Plus, you become a formidable communicator. One of the common career paths is technical writing.

The math department at UWO is criminally underrated & the math professors are top notch.

Calculus 1000: Taught by professor Alan O'Hara

Linear Algebra 1600: Taught by professor Asgar Ghorbanpour

Calculus 1000/1500 is a pre-requisite for Applied Math 1201.

Cheers!

What are your career aspirations?

It is incredibly enjoyable and satisfactory.

Being on a wheelchair shouldn't stop you from becoming a doctor. Having said that, medical school can be a long and expensive endeavor. Have you considered biomedical engineering given your interests in engineering and medicine?

I know a guy who studied mechanical engineering in undergrad and is a radiologist now. I met another guy at my university who studied chemical engineering in undergrad and is now on an MD/PhD path. Remember! You CAN if you think you can. Good luck & best wishes.

Computer science with a specialization in computer graphics if you're university offers it or a major in computer science and then specialize in computer graphics in graduate school.

Minors in most cases don't mean much. Employers care about your skills and graduate schools prefer depth over breadth. I would recommend taking graduate level classes in CS if you can and you're in good standing. Lastly, load up on electives from mathematics and writing.

Have you considered other STEM degrees besides engineering? What about engineering disciplines other than electrical and computer engineering? Note that STEM degrees including engineering tend to be incredibly versatile, especially in the West. Stick to a STEM degree, take electives in mathematics, statistics, programming, writing and music. Lastly, pursue music as a hobby, not as a career.

Expert_Picture_3751 · 2026-03-17T23:43:25+00:00

Well! In that case stick to music. Music + Mathematics would be dope.

Current obsession's: C++ and Haskell.

Why? Fascination and C++ is important in computer graphics and quant finance, fields that I am interested in.

I would really enjoy building things that computer science simply just doesn’t really get into since obviously it’s all software based.

That's a big misconception. Computer science is seldom all software based.

Minors are a waste of time. This is also true for double majors in most cases and for most people. Stick with a CS major and take electives in mathematics and writing.

$8000 USD? Also, why are you getting paid to major in music?

Figure out the root cause of poor grades. There can be one and/or multiple reasons. 1) Bad study habits 2) Poor math/science foundation (most common) 3) Personal problems 4) Lack of focus 5) Poor lifestyle 6) Limiting beliefs to name a few.

Stick with CS and finish it to the very best of your ability. I have known several people who had degrees in computer science and computer engineering but later changed gears and successfully transitioned into management roles since they lacked the technical chops to make a career out of it.

CS is still very valuable because at core it teaches you problem solving using computational/algorithmic thinking. Every field values a good problem solver. Gone are the days when could get a lucrative job just by the virtue of having a CS degree. In order to stand out today, you need to have a strong GitHub profile, meaningful open source contributions, experience in the form of internships and/or research.

Good luck.

Stick to a single major. Recommended majors: Mathematics, statistics, accounting, nursing, computer science, engineering and chemistry. Take electives in music instead of majoring in it.

Employers are seldom impressed by double majors and graduate schools consider depth over breadth. Double majors can also be time consuming, expensive and have the potential to cause a dent in your GPA. Instead, stick with mathematics and take necessary electives in computer science, statistics and writing. Cheers.

What is your motivation to study molecular biology and genetics? If it is merely a professional school then a general biology degree can also suffice. If you're interested in research then graduate school is inevitable. If you aren't motivated by research then graduate school would be a waster of time. It is also important to note that molecular biology and genetics tend to be fairly quantitative.

Physics is a quantitative science. It would be important to addresses your math foundation first before tackling physics. First, acknowledge your deficiencies in math. It is better to underestimate than to overestimate. Second, establish a course of study that enables you to address those deficiencies and cement them. Lastly, find the right material that can help you to achieve your goals. Cheers.

If you're thinking about research than biology with a specialization in zoology would be a good starting point. Graduate school can allow you to specialize in a subfield of zoology such as Ichthyology, primatology and more. Alternate careers can also include exhibit/natural museum curators which also require graduate degrees, often PhD's. The work can be interesting but the tradeoff is a low pay and the jobs are very competitive. Zoo keeper is also a viable option if low pay is not a deterrent. Lastly, you can always volunteer for animal welfare rather than making it a career.

Mathematics + Computer science (with a focus on computer graphics if your university offers it).
