2006 Major: Chemistry and Biology
"I came in as a Biology major, but the classes were huge and filled with pre-med students. After the first two years, Chemistry classes were small and intimate, and I really got to know my classmates and professors. Those close interactions were fun and intellectually stimulating, leading me to pursue a second major in Chemistry."
"Get into a research lab as soon as possible. You'll either love it and be able to spend time in an exciting, challenging, and frustrating world; or, you'll hate it, which is great to learn as you narrow down potential career paths."
