What I don't know is if I should choose a biological science major or I should choose biochemistry. I don't know which one aids more in taking the MCAT and taking later on classes in med school.<br />I would really appreciate it if you can answer my question or give me any insight about majors.Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10528990.post-44940265803053630532007-12-12T23:58:00.000+05:302007-12-12T23:58:00.000+05:30hi, as I read this comment, I felt that it echoes ...hi, as I read this comment, I felt that it echoes my sentiments. I am in a similar situation also, having the interest in human biology and has worked for some time in another field. I am also considering medical school. <BR/>So John, are you in medical school now?<BR/>And Dr Aniruddha, can you share with us some advice as to what other things we should consider before we commit to medicine?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10528990.post-1152556081712692172006-07-10T23:58:00.000+05:302006-07-10T23:58:00.000+05:30Dr. Aniruddha,I'm currently preparing myself to le...Dr. Aniruddha,<BR/>I'm currently preparing myself to leave a very successful career in Computer Science and Engineering to go back to school to prepare for med-school. I believe that this is my true calling.<BR/><BR/>I want to be a doctor because despite my educational and career choices I can't seem to shake my obsessive curiosity of how the human body works. Wanting to be able to help sick people is also a strong motivation, but of course there are lots of way to satisfy both of these desires without becoming a doctor. With that said, I feel that becoming a doctor will allow all of my true talents and capabilities (intelligence, problem solving, compassion, desire to help people, curiosity of how the body works...) to come together in a way that would both be personally fulfilling as well as maximizing my contribution to others.<BR/><BR/>However, I still want to make sure that my motives are properly aligned. What other questions should one ask of him/herself to determine if medicine is the right path for them?<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
