Answer 1

1 Misconception of College:  You have to do a job that involves your major.  WRONG.  You can major in any field and still be able to get into med school.

I would go with biology if I were you.  Economics has a lot of math.  I have noticed that math skills tends to be the make or break talent in college.

Answer 2

At many colleges/universities you can double major which is a good idea so you'll have something to fall back on. And if you decide you don't want one of those majors drop one or take it as a minor.

Answer 3

I would pursue biology if you aren't as good at math. It is also less dry and offers you more exciting opportunities.

Answer 4

A respected proffessor once told me:

Look back into your past. remember the happy moments you have lived. highlight your accomplishments and analize which of those things have in common. And that is what you should dedicate your life with. :)  

you are not born being good at math but you learn to be good at it. and as far as i know, everyone can learn.
