Switching to Physics from Computer Science, after sophomore year

<p>For med school the primary factors are gpa and mcat scores, which is why most applicants are graduates of less intensive majors. They need to protect that gpa. If you really want to go to med school, stick to the major that will not destroy your gpa (which physics might do). </p>

<p>In terms of identifying with people, the same people you find in cs majors are the same people in you’ll find in math, and physics majors. Similar skill sets are needed, which generally attracts similar personality types. This is also true for the engineering and chemistry departments as well. </p>

<p>Math majors aren’t useless, but if you want a distinguish yourself you’ll more than likely need a masters. </p>

<p>Physics can be a sink or swim major and so the increased workload may destroy your gpa and stop you from getting in med school. Conversely true, Physicists usually score highest in the mcat because they are taught to critically think, and even if they don’t know the answer, they can derive the right answer, using logic. This may not be an advantage for you since you are a CS major and you are developing similar skills. </p>
