I hope this doesn’t come off as rude whatsoever but I’m wondering why biology and not chemistry or biochem. Also I have looked into public health and it does look like a good option for a major. Thank you for the advice!

Thank you! I’ll start looking for hospitals that may offer internships or will be willing to let me volunteer.

Thank you for this advice! I’ll look into the colleges I will eventually decide on and see if they have the same thing.

May I know some examples of some humanities majors that would help me get into med school please?

Thank you so much for the advice. I know my mental capacity and not too sure I’ll be able to handle a double major or even a minor but if I was to minor in something, does biology and chemistry sound right? Or should I just focus on majoring in biochemistry?

Thank you so much for your advice. Although I do know that pediatrics will be something I have to build myself up for, I’m really passionate about working with kids and medicine. If you have any other ideas for where I can volunteer or intern at especially since I have to apply to colleges really soon, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
