I am about to enter my senior year of college and am set to graduate with a degree in Economics. I have a 3.96 GPA. I recently discovered this career path and am certain that this is what I want to do. I’m considering several different options:

1. Change my major this upcoming semester to a BA in biology and finishing my bachelors in 5 years instead of 4. I’m a bit worried about this option just because I would be taking a full course load (18+ credit hours) of hard science and labs each semester. Also, an additional year at my currently undergraduate institution would be expensive. My parents have paid for my undergrad up until this point, but would not pay for the additional semester so I would have to take out around 35k in student loans. Since I’m already going to have to take out loans for path assistant school, I’m worried about racking up more. I would shadow and work throughout these two years.

2. Graduate undergrad in December with a degree in Economics. Spend the next couple of years getting in my pre requisites at community college and work to save money while getting shadowing hours, working, etc.

The second option is far more financially feasible but I’m worried that not having a science degree and having all my pre-reqs from community college is going to hurt me significantly in the admissions process. Would love any advice.

If anyone in NYC would be willing to let me shadow them over the next few weeks I would be eternally grateful! Please message!

Genuinely wtf was that? Putting this exam on a computer was quite literally the worst idea ever. The equations were glitching out and it took forever to type everything. I only even got to attempt 3/5 questions because it was taking so long not even because I didn’t know the material

I studied abroad for 4 months and my numerical grades from abroad were translated into letter grades and are on my college transcript. However, my undergrad institution doesn’t count them towards my GPA. Will LSAC?
