i don’t think being honest about majors is bad.

So, I guess you are quite content to spend all your time in the hospital and are willing to live in a storage closet? No? Then check yourself, honey. Because there are PROFESSIONALS IN THE MAKING in other majors. Will you want a nice house? Better have a good realtor and contractor. Will you want your house to look pretty? Better have a good consultant to put that place together so it doesn’t look all mish mosh (unless you plan on minoring in interiors in your spare time). How about your retirement planning? Better have a good 401 k manager. Get yourself in a bind with a potential lawsuit due to your overinflated ego being on par with your skill set? Better have a good insurance agent and lawyer and PR person helping you keep your damn license. It takes all people to make this world work. A little humility would do you some good.

We can’t be all things to all people. You can very well be on the pre health track, make great grades, get research grants, volunteer, have a job, be in the honors college, and STILL not get into a good med school. Or get into a great med school and fail out. Or get into a great med school and when you graduate, become a professor for pre-health. Some people are more adept at science than English, but someone needs to study English. Someone needs to be the teachers or professors who taught you to get you to the high horse you’re on. There’s a certain amount of challenge that comes along with life and getting a college degree, which is how you advance in your learning, but if a major is so challenging that you can’t handle the work required of it, it’s not the right major for you. If that’s what you need to do and you can’t do it, don’t. Pick an “easier” major. And when you realize you struggle with memorizing scripts and writing page upon page of character analyses and staying up all night striking for shows because you’re a science person not a theatre person, you’ll realize nothing worth doing is “easy,” but the hard work WE ALL DO is worth it if we want it.

You are wasting your time thinking about marketing majors. If your life in pre med is as hard and stressful as you say it is, how do you have room to worry what people in other majors are doing? Check yourself, focus on your own life, and let others do the same.
