Hi, I’ll be a senior in HS this fall, and I’m trying to figure out what I want to do in college. = ) I am 90% sure as of now that I want to major in Music Ed(choral). I don’t want to be a performance major because I feel like I won’t be able to connect with as many people and make a difference. I just finished Chemistry in HS and found that I thoroughly enjoyed it! So that had me thinking about venturing into the medicine field, particularly pharmacology. Again with the helping people! Now, I know for a fact that I will be majoring in music when I go to college, but what are the possibilities of being able to complete the required pre-med courses for future consideration of med school? I know music majors have TOUGH schedules, and this makes me doubt that this is even plausible for me because I would have to work harder as it is in just music; I have only been fully immersed in music for 4 years. I see myself as an underdog. Who knows how much I might struggle with the advanced theory and piano in college! Also, I know that there is a pharmacology major in college, but is that the only path available? Thank you!
