What should I major in if I want to become a Physical Therapist?
I'm currently a Junior in High School and about to finish up the school year. I know I want to become a physical therapist, but I'm not quite sure what to major in before I go to medical school. I've thought about a Pre-Med Biology major, but I've also thought about a major in Exercise Science with an emphasis in Human Performance. Is one better than the other if I am going into PT? Is there another major that would be even better? The college I want to go to offers both of these majors, so availability is not a problem. Thank you so much!

How do I study Biology?
I'm a second year in college right now and I'm having a hard time retaining information and to be more specific, I'm really struggling with my biology course. I'm taking notes from our presentations and in class but I can't really seem to process the information. I did fine in my chemistry and statistics courses, so I think I just don't know how to use biology in a practical sense especially because our professor doesn't give us homework.
