Question: Do I Have to be a PreMed Major to Apply to Medical School?
Answer: A premed major is not needed to gain admission to medical school especially as many universities don't offer a premed major. So what is necessary? A transcript that lists many courses that provide the knowledge that is essential for success in medical school. That's lots of science classes, some math, and a few English classes. You don't need to major in science, but it is easier to meet the demanding requirements for admission to medical school as a science major. But, even humanities majors can go to graduate school if they have the right experiences. So, it's not about the college major, but rather, the courses. What courses? Biology, Anatomy, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Calculus.... get the picture?
