Clarity took a hard hit, then, didn’t it?

No, but making it personal is just cheap.

“Oh no I just disagreed with ‘vast’ not the whole sentiment”. Ambiguity always favors the other party: one of the rules of competitive debate

What?

I tend to group economics/business administration/commerce under the same banner of ‘finance/accounting’

You may group them under the same banner, but they aren’t.

How will OP possibly expect to get into med school without a high GPA?

OP’s high school GPA is a 3.75. There’s no guarantee that the OP will be able to maintain that same GPA in college, and olenty of people get rejected by med school with 3.8s in college.

Switching majors to something more directly employable, that possibly may not be OP’s strength, in a far competitive environment, is probably going to detrimental to OP’s GPA.

Agreed.

While I am going to dismiss the lack of sensitivity to issues of gender here (nice job assuming OP is a ‘he’-- I surely hope you noted elsewhere that OP suggested to be of this gender)

Wow. Just…wow.

Well, the question is more that should we tell people majoring in English or whatever to change majors as well because certainly the market is saturated for them too?

English is an academia oriented major. Look at most Biology graduates today; lots of them didn’t get into med school, a lot of them regret the choice of choosing Biology as a major. I’m not saying that Bio majors are hopeless. All I’m saying is that if the OP’s sole choice for choosing Biology is to get into med school and nothing else, then it is the wrong choice.
