major for law/med school?
Hi! so i'm about to go into grade 12 this year as a student in ottawa. I'd say my main 2 choices for unis are uottawa and carleton, and i'm stuck between the two because I haven't decided whether I wish to go into law or medicine when the time comes. Of course it would be more beneficial to have that decision made before applying to unis, but realistically, due to my lack of experience/exposure in both fields, I wish to not limit myself to one.
I am aware that law school requires no majors (as with the LSAT), whereas the MCAT does. Even then, if I choose to go to uottawa, there will be no need for me to even do said MCAT. Nonetheless, i've been pondering major/minor options for uni. I've found myself to have a great affinity for neuroscience, which would be beneficial for medicine later on as a major, but have only seen carleton have this as a major option. If I do wish to go to med school though, I'd rather stick to uottawa as they have their own medical school, meaning I would have to take health sci/biomed, or something within that domain.
Furthermore, I am conflicted with taking a minor as well. I do enjoy the humanities and it pains me to even think of going four years without being implicated with them in some way (especially if I were to apply for law school later on). If I were to take a minor, it would probably be in political science/philosophy alongside my stem-related major.
Thank you for taking the time to read all of this, honestly I'm just looking for some clarity on whether people have ever questioned this path between law/medicine at uottawa and carleton. I've heard good things about both universities and wonder what others have to say.
