How do I decide my major?
I got into college, yayyy :)
The problem is, I don't know which major to declare. Right now, I'm in as undecided, but need to choose soon
I love science. I know I want to go into either Chemistry or Cellular and Molecular Bio.
I'm hoping to enter either Med school or Pharm school (keeping my options open for now), and go into research.
Which major fits better with this track?

Thank you for your question. Many students have similar question.
Below are my suggestions:
1. Think about what you have interest first, eg your hobbies, favourite subjects, etc and identify the related careers
Eg if you have interest in maths, would you like to be an accountant, engineer, banker, financial analyst, finance manager, etc
If you like music, would you like to be a musician, singer, musical artist, music composer, music producer, etc
2. Find out more on these careers and determine what you have interest
3. Speak to someone who are working in these careers. Seek guidance from your mentor, school career counselor, your parents, etc
4. Shortlist 1-2 careers you would like to pursue
5. Explore the entry criteria of relevant subjects in colleges
Hope this helps! Good luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

I would offer that it is OK to start college as an undeclared major. You can use the first two years to get your general Ed done while exploring a few different electives.
That gives you some runway to figure out what you want to do without feeling pressured to do it now.
