My name is Jaidev and I am a high school senior. I have been accepted to the University of Virginia under their early decision program. I really want to pursue medicine and become a doctor. However I really don’t want to take a science major in college. I am planning to major in my second area of interest (business) and this is because it’ll be my last chance to explore another field/subject before I devote my entire life to medicine.
Do you think this is a wise choice?
Will I be grilled in med school interviews about this and will they accept my explanation?
Also I know that volunteering at hospitals is pretty standard stuff and how can I go beyond that to stand out amongst applicants.
Thank you very much.
