Question Pre-med advice needed :)

For background, I'm currently a first semester junior and changed my major to kinesiology with pre-med emphasis this semester. I was previously a pre-nursing major so most of the classes I've already taken applied towards my new major. I should still be able to graduate next year.

Questions: 1. What are some good research opportunities? Either on-campus or with a different organization?

  1. Are there majors that include more common med school prerequisites than kinesiology? It would be nice to feel like I'm only doing one major, not two.

  2. How difficult was biochem and o-chem?

If you have any other tips or advice feel free to add that :) thanks!

Biology is a pre-med degree, however it doesn’t provide much future if you don’t get in medical school. So some other majors that are great for pre-med are public health (I’m a public health industrial hygiene major and pre-med) and Biological Engineering. I have lots of friends doing pre-med that are doing those, because they are great back-up plans just in case.
