Physics or Molecular Biology?

So…I want to go to med school to study and do research in human genetics, so obviously an intensive study in molecular biology will greatly prepare me for that. But the thing is, I really love physics, and know that my GPA will be higher here, and that I’ll get more out of these classes than I will from other classes. Every source I’ve looked at also says that med school students should major in what they like. I’m just afraid that going from physics to genetics is too huge of a turn. I’d love to major in physics, and either get a dual degree or a minor in molecular biology, but I can’t find a “good” school that allows that. Any advice?
