hi everyone, this is my first post but i have stalked these forums for quite a while! here is my dilemma- i am currently pursuing a bachelors of science in allied health and i plan to go to grad school for an mot program. because of all my highschool AP credits and taking a few classes over summer my schedule is pretty freed up for my second two years. so i will be in my third year at university of connecticut but i have been at a junior status since last semester.
i can either-
option A- double major in psychology (ba) and allied health (bs).
option B- major in allied health (bs) and double minor in gerontology and psychology
option C-major in allied health (bs) and minor in gerontology and graduate a semester early.
here are my thoughts- i really want to take the gerontology minor, because i have worked in 3 nursing homes and i definitely would like to do OT within the geriatric field.
But i feel like applying for grad school with a double major looks better then a major/minor. am i being too prestigious for thinking this? also, graduating a semester early would save me about $8000 in cash and $5000 in loans. also, if i were to graduate early i would be working full time in the nursing home for my semester off because every grad program i am looking into is a fall start only.
while saving money is important, i feel like impressing the admissions office will be much more beneficial.
anyone have any input for me? im torn between the double major or graduating early. option B is just kind of there
