I send off my early application this week and just wanted to run my rough ‘plan’ by you guys and see how it sounds to you. Obviously, I could change my mind and decide on something totally different but I’d better go in with an idea of where I’m headed, right?

I’m an Intl student (British) studying A Levels in English, Mathematics, German and Music. As the title of this thread would suggest, I want to study some maths and philosophy alongside completing the premed requirements. My intention is to go to medical school but I’d be happy to consider a PhD in theoretical physics/applied maths if I find that the current dream fades.

Do you think that I will be able to fit in:
*A math major - specialising in theoretical physics with some classes in cryptanalysis and game theory with;
*A philosophy minor - classes on ethics, logic and ‘existence’ (ie. religion and epistemology or metaphysics) and;
*A year of physics, 2 of chem (inc. 1 organic), 1 of biology (inc. some biochem and genetics), and maybe a class in psychology/sociology if I need it to keep med schools happy. And lastly;
*Language classes in either German or Russian.

If I can’t squeeze it all in to 4 years then I might consider post-bacc premed but I’d rather not do that. Obviously, whether my programme will work depends on where I am accepted and how their timetable works but I’d appreciate a quick yes/no/‘are you psycho?’ response!
