<p>I think it would be a good idea to have a back-up plan.</p>

<p>I’ve always liked the idea of being a doctor, but I think having a science undergrad would be useless unless one is able to attain high enough marks for the competitive med/dental/pharmacy/optometry school.</p>

<p>I’m definitely interested in business as well, and I’d think that having a BCOM degree would be helpful. I know that for med school it is not necessary to have a science degree. </p>

<p>My question is, in the McGill Desautels (Mangement) faculty, would it be possible to take enough science courses as electives in order to fulfill med school prerequisites? My only fear is a severe overall GPA drop.</p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>I was actually contemplating if I would do the same thing. I really want to do medicine, but I am not sure what path is the safest towards that goal. Currently I have two acceptances from both Concordia and Mcgill in the life sciences. However I was thinking that perhaps I should switch to business in order to get a degree that is useful.</p>

<p>If anyone has any thoughts I would also like to hear them.</p>
