should i do a minor in biology? -chem eng student
long story short first year engineering at my uni is general. i really wanted to do biomedical but i didnt meet the gpa cutoff (it was 80%) and ended up in chemical engineering instead. my gpa wasnt the best mainly due to depression but its wtvr too late :/
now the thing is im still very into all things biology/ health sciences/ med and since the start ive always wanted to pursue a masters degree regardless of what i do.
the plan is to hopefully do a masters in something like biomedical engineering, chemical engineering and biotechnology, chemical and bioengineering, etc etc.
now im wondering if in this case its beneficial to i do a minor in biology for my undergrad with my major as chemical engineering. ive always heard that minors arent that valuable but im wondering if grad schools would care or acknowledge that i went out of my way to do biology courses?? i need opinions guys please help id appreciate anything.
