Chemistry PhD vs Med School vs Finance

<p>If you’re certain that you want to work in banking/consulting, I would drop the chemistry major and do economics. It is a much easier major and gives you more time to focus on internships and EC’s. Also, the requirements for the major are very light, so you see lots of people with double majors in economics and something else. </p>

<p>If you want to keep your options open, then stick with chemistry. You can still get into banking/consulting - it will be harder because of GPA reasons, and you might have to spin your story about wanting to work in a specific industry group related to your major (e.g. Healthcare, Chemicals). But it’s very possible, and your background will perhaps get a second look because it’s mostly business-related majors applying for IB/consulting. In this scenario, you still also have the option to apply for med school.</p>

<p>It seems like most students in UCIB are economics or some quantitive major. But there is major self-selection there. </p>
