Double major in Math and Physics as a premed or do Biochemical engineering as a premed??
Math and Physics, because I love these subjects and I feel that from a research perspective ( radiation oncology, mathematical oncology, bio physics etc it really gives you a strong foundation.)
Second choice is ( I really love chemistry ) Chemical engineering with a concentration in life sciences because I am absolutely fascinated by the new breakthroughs in nano medicine, nuclear medicine etc.
So plan one : When I shift to a four year institution next year ( currently in a community college ) I can declare my major as Chemical engineering with concentration in life sciences or do a double major in physics and mathematics.
Worst case scenario, if I don't get into medical school I can always go to grad school and pursue further studies.
Also I know how much grades are important as an applicant for medical school and I'll do my best to get the best grades and have a stellar application but at the same time I don't want to rob myself of really exploring these areas as an undergrad and be a grade grubber as a premed.
Advice would be greatly appreciated...
