Neuroscience major trying to decide between sociology or psychology as a second major

<p>

Neuroscience and psychology double major seems doable, as some of the psychology classes might double up and fulfill requirements for neuroscience as well.

Some, but not more than 5 are allowed to overlap. See <a href=“http://www.ugeducation.ucla.edu/counseling/double-major.html”>http://www.ugeducation.ucla.edu/counseling/double-major.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>The OP should work with a counselor at the career center to see what is required to enter a clinical psychology program. One good place to start is reading thru <a href=“Redirect Notice”>http://■■■■■■■.com/lb5ajxa&lt;/a&gt;

I’d like to have maximum chances for being a competitive applicant for both medical school and grad school (I like to have options).

I hope that is possible, but the sad truth is that in many things in life you have to choose between being average at a few things or excelling at one. My intuition (and let me emphasize its just that, I’m not a career counselor) is that the committment to be an outstanding med school applicant will take so much time (volunteer work in a medical setting is an unofficial requirement to get accepted, research experience is a definite plus, etc) that it won’t leave much time to become a strong candidate for selective psychology programs.</p>
