Hey. So I’m a physics major at UC Davis and I am doing pre-med on the side so that I can apply for med school when the time comes.

However, I am worried that because I’m ONLY doing research in physics (I’m also applying to Physics grad school), that I won’t have time to do research in medical related fields, such as bio, or chem.

That said, would it harm my med school application if I only did research in physics, which is my major? Or would I need to mix up my experience, and also do research in more medical related stuff, like volunteer at a hospital, or do bio research or w/e.

Much appreciated!
