<p>khan - my H is a doctor and his undergrad major was molecular biology. It is a common pre-med major. There are many schools that have “pre-health” as a department with a few majors you can choose from. That seems a good way to go. If you don’t get into med school, you can take your major and pursue a BS to BSN degree, or perhaps go for a PA or something else. The BS to BSN degree usually takes only a year or so if you have many of the science prerequisites covered. </p>
<p>I have a D who wants to major in zoology because she loves studying animals. Some schools have zoology departments that are filled with premed students! It seems a good way to ruin a major - to have hyper competitive premed students filling it, which is another reason why I like the pre-health option.</p>
