<p>Hey go for it!</p>
<p>D1 earned a BS physics/BS mathematics and is now a MS2. Her GPA took somewhat of hit with her difficult double major and not a single interviewer wanted to talk about her research (medium energy particle physics), but she loves physics. (She did better the farther along she got in her studies. Bs in calc-based general physics for majors, but A+s in grad quantum. She said grad quantum made studying PChem trivial and even helped with OChem since she could derive chemical pathways just by thinking about orbital mechanics.)</p>
<p>The difficulty of a physics major will depend on how good your math skills are (they need to be really good) and how comfortable you are with looking at the world at a very basic mechanistic level. </p>
<p>The other upside to a physics major–your job prospects, should you not get accepted into med school, are definitely better than if you major in bio or psych.</p>
