Hey all,

I’m a high school senior whose goal is to ultimately going to med school. I applied as an MCB major but I’m starting to have doubts because while I do well in biology, I don’t truly enjoy it. I’ve been looking at other majors lately, especially Public Health.

Could some of you please shed some general light on what the major is like and how it looks in terms of going to medical school? I saw that the average GPA for Public Health majors is around 3.6, substantially higher than that of many other majors. Does this indicate that Public Health is an “easy” major, and would it reflect badly on medical school applications?

I appreciate your help!
