Med school is 1 year of:

Organic chemistry with lab
Calculus
English
For actuarial career you need:
finance
microeconomics
macroeconomics
three semesters of calculus
one semester of linear algebra
two semesters of calculus-based probability and statistics
actuarial science courses, as available
computer science courses
business courses, such as marketing
communication courses, such as speech, business writing and technical writing
literature, history, art, political science, the humanities, and other liberal arts classes
Math classes are the only ones that overlap. With high gpa, and great exam scores, i'll get a job as an actuary (after passing 2 exams) ..which is before i get into med school. And of course the college i attend will guide me in when to take all these classes and stuff like that. I want to go into surgery and by that time i'll be done with actuarial studies since i don't HAVE to take all five exams to get a job. I also have to take into consideration, i need time for research, volunteering and working hours. Only time that will be very hard if i double major with this is around the time when i'll be studying for MCATS and the first 2 tests for actuary. But considering everyone's suggestions and comments, i'm still confused on what to make my major?! I keep asking this question because i dont want to make a mistake in choosing something that'll make the employers or med schools question me ..i want to have it all balanced out.
