Admissions Advice

Would a Major in Biology or Child development and a Journalism Minor be the best choice for me based on my aspirations?
Answered

Hello, I am a Junior in High School and I want to join the medical field as a pediatrician,OB GYN,or a Dentist. However, I also have an interest in becoming a Female Sports Talk Host.I would love to attend SDSU,Penn State,UConn, or Long Beach State. However, I currently have a weighted 3.467 gpa. In addition, I was wondering which is better majoring in Biology or Child Development based on my career goals for the medical field pediatrics being my top goal. As well as if a minor is Journalism would best suit my curiosity of becoming a Female Sports Talk Host?

Yes, but please major in Biology and not Child Development. You still have to pass the MCAT to get into medical school.
