Some career advice: skip the philosophy minor. Minors are only worth it if they’re related to an area you’re considering for grad school. Biology or math minors give you a lot of options although not math in your case obviously. If you want to take those classes as electives and just end up with it then fine, but don’t go into it planning on doing extra coursework because you think the minor will help you; it won’t.

Philosophy will be fun until you realize that 80% or so of what you are studying is dusty old stuff from times in which things like Bayesianism, Quantum Mechanics and Evolution were unknown or ignored. That position is ignorant culturally, but sometimes you are probably better off ignoring the artificial boundaries and hurdles that our culture sets up and go straight to the interesting things.
