<p>What other major would you choose? Be aware that majoring in biology or biochemistry would not be much (if any) upgrade in job and career prospects at the bachelor’s degree level, if you are concerned about your options if you do not get into medical school.</p>
<p>But also be aware that majoring in music can be very time consuming if there is a lot of performance involved.</p>
<p>Your college GPA (overall and biology/chemistry/physics/math) would be much more important than your major in medical school admissions. It is the case that a biology or biochemistry major has more chances to “dilute” a bad (B+ or lower) grade in a science course with additional good (A- or higher) grades in other science courses, but also has more chances to get bad (B+ or lower) grades in science courses. However, choosing a major you like enough to get good grades is important.</p>
<p>For pre-med purposes, you should consider college grades as the following, due to the high selectivity levels of US MD medical schools:</p>
<p>A = acceptable
B = bad
C = catastrophic
D = disastrous
F = forget it</p>
<p>Note that UCs will be expensive for you as a Nevada resident. Medical school is expensive, so you need to consider where you can save money and avoid debt for undergraduate study.</p>
