Should I go pre-med or switch my major? Future Bowdoin student

I will say that as someone who did much less serious D1 athletics than football in a power five conference, I did all the pre-med prereqs and the same majors (yes, majors, I did a double in bio and classics) I would have done I hadn’t been an athlete. I took a single gap year which was more about building my ECs than my grades or pre-reqs because my ECs definitely took a hit because of sports. That being said, my program specifically said that my participation in varsity (I say varsity because your D3 would be just as valuable as my D1) athletics was a major plus. I’ve seen the same statement echoed by other schools.

I would imagine D3 lacrosse is closer to my athletic experiences than it is to power five football.
