[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geezus. It’s called PREREQUISITES people. Of course all applicants had to have taken the same prerequisite classes. OY![/quote]

Um, prereq is just an abbreviation, dude.  Most creative writing, econ, education majors do not also take bio + lab, 2 semesters Gen Chem + labs, 2 semesters organic + labs, university physics (along with the required math prereq).....etc.

Yes, it is possible for a non science/non premed major to get all those classes in, it's just not the standard way to go about it.[/quote]

No, non-science majors cannot get around taking Chemistry through Org, bio, physics etc if they want to apply to medical school. At a minimum: https://students-residents.aamc.org/choosing-medical-career/article/admission-requirements-medical-school/[/quote]

I guess if you are cool with taking those courses, you can pretty much major in anything that you want to. Personally, I would be loading up on stuff like Anatomy/Physiology, genetics, etc.

If medicine is your passion, and if you're going to med school it needs to be your passion, I would think that you would want to know as much about the field as possible.....as opposed to majoring in something non-related, like Music Studies.  But that's just me.[/quote]
