Basic Classes for Medical School

Question: Basic Classes for Medical School

Your undergraduate coursework will be evaluated carefully my medical school admissions committees. Be sure that you have met their basic educational requirements.

Answer: Take the following courses to cover your bases:

• Biology with Laboratory (one year)
• Inorganic Chemistry with Laboratory (one year)
• Organic Chemistry with Laboratory (one year)
• Physics (one year)
• English (one year)
• Calculus
• Biochemistry
• Anatomy

In short, math and science are key to your admissions success (and survival once admitted). The exact requirements vary by school, but you can't go wrong with lots of science and math. Also note that you don't need to be a premed major. A science degree helps, however.
