I'm not sure about a biochem minor but if it includes physical chemistry then you may want to skip that. Maybe it's taught better at other institutions but I remember 2 people who came out of that class without their ears bleeding at UW.

That's what I'd be concerned about. With the new MCAT having all these varied topics, I may as well just pick a science major. Econ has zero overlap with medical school requirements (besides English) so it might not be possible. I will discuss this with the advisor at whichever school I attend. I know if the cost is only $20k per year (as opposed to $60k), I'm not going to be hard pressed to major in something with a high starting salary. I can put all my effort into mastering the sciences for becoming a Dr. in the future.
Biochem BS & BA major includes 1 pchem class from quick glance at the major map. It's called "Elementary Physical Chemistry" and is a pre-req for "Biophysical Chemistry."
ASU has tons of options for majors: chem, bio, biochem, biophysics, physics, microbio, molecular biotech, global health... Global Health sounds interesting, all of these are the "recommended pre-health" majors.
