Thanks for all the really helpful responses, everyone! They definitely are reassuring. Mollie, I didn’t know MIT had such a high medical school acceptance rate! For some reason I thought it hovered around ~70%, so I’m glad I’m wrong and that it’s actually 94%. Good news all around.

@gethenian, I want to be a physics major because I love physics! As a physician I’ll be studying biology and chemistry for the rest of my life, so I might as well take advantage of the opportunity that college provides to study another subject that I love, but that I know I don’t want to dedicate my life to. If that makes any sense :P
