saying you want to be a doctor is like saying you want to be Michael Jordan in the NBA. of course, there are NBA superstars, and they exist, just as doctors exist. Can you be that NBA superstar? Most medical school applicants are rejected to every school they apply to; even more simply don’t bother applying.

just take chemistry, it’s the safest degree and gives much more job opportunities than Biology or Biochemistry (because biochemistry is mostly bio and not enough chem; the chemistry useful in the working world is organic synthesis and instrumental analysis, and biochemistry doesn’t prepare you for that). You can either take alot of biology in chemistry, or you can completely skip biology and take chemical engineering/material science/computer classes to build up a different set of skills, or even get deeper into the useful aspects of chemistry like become an expert on 1 type of machine.
