<p>My quagmire:</p>
<h2>A single major in English would be just as good if not better than Biology. I am right now a senior in high school, and it pains me to see you forcing your daughter into a certain field of study, ultimately for all we know she can fail out of biology because it is not her favorite field of study. Also, if she is not much interested in biology or biological sciences and such, are you sure she is interested in Medicine as a whole? Is she just taking this premed track to conciliate her parents? </h2>
<p>Now I saw this debate and my eyes lit up! haha, This is very similar to my own problem. I do not care much for what I study, in the fact that I am interested in Biology and will be more than happy to pursue a Bio-neuroscience BS degree at my institution (University of Rochester). Then, after reflecting back upon my high school activites, education, and hobbies/interests and such, I also understand that I like technology, and Biomedical Engineering is a plausible major as well. Either way, I am very dedicated in gaining acceptance to Medical School, and working with the clinical facet of medicine. Now for my problem: As I have stated, I would probably enjoy pursueing both degrees, as they are both interesting, but I would choose Biology based upon the fact that I may have a better chance of admittance to Medical School due to the possibility of myself achieving a higher GPA and the on the whole everything being less rigorous. Therefore Biology would be slightly preferred over BME, but then the main problem that arose was the fact that after graduating from a BS in Biology and assuming that the competition of medical school catches up with me, my career options / future with biology would be very bleary. Now on the otherhand, a BME major , especially after getting his/her masters or PhD has a plethora of options available to him, moreso than biology…so my simple request is that you guys debate -this- one haha and help me figure out what I should do! Thanks in advance,</p>
