Title: Need some help...
Post by: derikj on October 25, 2009, 09:14:37 PM
I will be attending K-State next fall and can't decide whether to major in Biology or Kinesiology. Eventually I will be a Physical Therapist. Anybody that has majored in either one of these or taken any classes that include Chem 2 and Physics 2 please help!

I've taken those classes. Also biology is pretty hard, especially if your like me and you drink 4 nights a week haven't been a "good" student your whole life. I'm in microbiology right now and it is completely kicking my ass.

Personally if you want to be a physical therapist, kinesiology seems to be the logical choice.  It's focus would most closely fit that field in my opinion.

i'd check out a couple of physical therapy grad schools that you might want to eventually attend and then call them ask them what they think. ask if there are pre req's that are common for entry/acceptance into physical therapy grad school. then make sure that you get those covered. plan ahead.

Statistically speaking, you aren't going to end up being a physical therapist...or even majoring in anything close to that.

My advice is to do the research that Daris suggests, but then do NOT take any of those ass-pounding classes your first year.  Take a bunch of core stuff that can be used regardless of major.  Settle into school and pad your GPA if you can.

agree w/ what pete said. your freshman year should be for taking psych101, comp, mass comm and having sex w/ girls in ford hall. good idea to stay away from specific classes that can't transfer into other majors. be generic.
