hi everyone! im a current junior (rising senior) and i begin researching universities to attend to, i wanted to ask some questions to people have gone through this experience themselves! how did y'all come to the conclusion of your major since med schools apparently do not require a specific major? also, what are the benefits of going into a bs/md program vs regular pre med journey?
