How should I determine my double major/minor as a prospective Government major??
As a prospective government major at William and Mary, would it be wise to include a major or a minor in business? My thoughts were that an additional focus in a slightly more technical field would make me more competitive and add job security, and I would love some additional insight into good pairings. I've also heard that there are ways for liberal arts majors to break into consulting. I'm not totally sure if that suits me, but does anyone know how viable a strategy that is? Thanks!

Any health professional student who has been through the Junior COSTEP process willing to answer my questions about certain parts of the application?
Hello, I am a pharmacy student interested in doing the Junior COSTEP program with the Public Health Service. I just started the application, but I am confused and struggling to fill-out some parts. I have emailed AES and COSTEP but have yet to hear anything. Does anyone mind if I ask them questions or willing to answer to the best of your abilities? Here are my questions: 1. For education, do we complete state the colleges, universities, or institutions we have attended/ attending? It seems to have a character limit which is odd? 2. Also, for semester credits, do we put all the credits earned if we completed a program? Idk how to go about this sections, I wish there was examples to reference too. 3. Will my references have to send me their completed PHS-1813 form to submit or will they submit it on their own? 4. Should I have a physician or any provider fill-out my medical form or is it okay if I fill it myself? Please elaborate which parts DD 2807-2 form I should fill-in and what parts my provider must do. Any suggestions, advice, or solutions are appreciated!
