I’ve heard that Vanderbilt’s STEM classes are incredibly difficult, so I’m wondering if it would be smarter to major in something like Public Health just to protect my GPA for medical school applications. At the same time, I’m worried about my career options; if I ultimately decide not to go to medical school, I don't know what kind of job I could get with just a biology degree. I’m torn because I don’t really care for public health or any subject other than biology, so I don't know if switching is a smart move or a mistake. If anyone has recommendations for majors that offer decent job prospects after graduation without absolutely tanking my GPA, please let me know."

this might be rlly stupid but im so confused with this whole process. what is the csp n other stuff u guys keep mentioning. ik i missed the deadline for the juniour year thing but thats not the one where u write essays for college, right? also what do u guys mean when u say that u cant change ur application? is it like u cant change it if u dont get matched to the school but decide to roll it over to rd? n one more thing, is it even worth trying to do the match thing if i didn't do the junior thing or should i js apply thru common app ea/ed. i wish i heard abt this earlier but i come from a rural school in literally nowhere n im my parents have no clue/care abt college thins. idk if this important but my parents make around 60k per year n were like a family of 6 😭
