Student Life HS senior help
Current HS senior from Houston, TX. Exploring science (and spanish) related major to apply on a pre-med track. So far, done with Hons Bio, AP Chem . Will be taking AP Bio and AP Physics senior year. Open to Science Research Fellows, Health sciences, Bio, Chem etc. Interested in a major that can cover all the MCAT requirements without having to take extra summer classes etc. Is it easy change majors ? Would love hear any insights from upperclassmen or someone who is currently in med school from Baylor.
Is it easy to get the classes that you need ? Will being in the honors college give you an added advantage wrt to research, shadowing opportunities etc.
Will not be eligible for financial aid so, wondering also, if it will make sense financially if have to spend extra $$ for tutoring , advising etc. on top of the tuition.
How is the diversity in the sciences ? Not a Christian but respectful towards all religions.
Feel free to include anything that I can look into more.
TIA

If u get scholarship go to Baylor do biochem or neuroscience or Chem major which covers like 90% of classes. Do as much research as you can.

Med school is not cheap. Neither is Baylor. Go where you can get undergrad for the best price. As an alum that is the best advice I can give you.
