I was just surfing through the internet, and I saw a bunch of articles stating that "the rate of acceptance into medical school for biology majors is dismal". Well, that's great -- I just got accepted into college as a biology major... so now I can't help but wonder if I made a mistake. One of the general consensus of the articles was to go with your interest, but my only interest is becoming a doctor. Yes, I am extremely talented at English, but I hate that subject more then anything in the world. In science and math I'm decent. In this case, if I were to switch majors, which major would you recommend for medical school? Also, is it normal for someone who isn't in love with science to become a doctor? My reasons for choosing the field lie more in wanting to help people, as cliche as that sounds, and less about loving science.
The thing is, there is no "fallback" for me. It has to do with my father becoming Hemiplegic one week before finishing residency thus never finishing, and me, as his only child, having a lifelong wish to finish what he started. I just have to no matter what it takes.
And i'm fully aware of how difficult it is to get into medical school. My dad with all his pent up pessimism has graciously reminded me of that every day of my life.
