“I do want to go to medical school after my undergrad so don’t worry Bio won’t be useless!”

Keep in mind that most people who start as pre-med don’t end up in medical school. Not necessarily because they can’t hack it, but they discover it’s not what they want to do. I’m in that category. Keep it in mind.

“I want to work for the CIA.”

The CIA has a glut of applicants with criminal justice and forensics backgrounds. And that’s not what they’re looking for. If your real, ultimate goal is to work for the CIA, forensic science won’t make you a stand-out applicant, and I don’t understand why you would want an MD to go this route, either. If you want competitive skills for the CIA, study math and computer science.
