-: My name is Sierra Trost and currently,
for a living, I have two jobs.
I work at the U of M twin cities as a research assistant
in the families and long term care project
through the school of nursing, and I also work
at a hospital in the emergency department
as a medical scribe.
I mean, there are people going to medical school
who took a dance major, who took music majors,
it doesn't have to be science.
I, personally, was a biology and health science major
with a minor in chemistry but that's
because I loved the sciences.
Getting ahead of the game isn't necessarily
the most important part.
I mean, it'll be beneficial in the long run, technically.
But I think if you love something else and you can show
that you're a different major but still can do great
on science tests like the MCAT,
I think that's a great option as well.
