[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kinesiology is the worst degree. Don’t do it[/quote]

It's a great degree for applying to get a doctorate in PT.  You still need to take some bio, chem, and psych classes but it will give you more anatomy/physiology than majoring in any of those/[/quote]

Does it also help to get into med school?[/quote]

Med school requirements are med school requirements...you can be an art history major if you fulfill all the science requirements to do so.  Might only fulfill a couple of the requirements (Bio might fulfill more) but it would certainly be helpful once you're in med school and (depending on the school and how many anatomy/physiology classes you have to take) it could be helpful for the MCATs.[/quote]

Kinesiology as a class fills NO med school reqs and is NOT on the Mcat. it is considered "fluffy" compared to Biochem, cell bio, and the Phsyiology classes with lab. The Kinesiology undergrad program is not just a major it is a specific track that does not allow full access to the premed courses at UVA. I am an MD. I have served on my Med school AdCom. Premeds at UVA need A&S or Engineering, any moajor they want--English or art or whatnot--but they will have full access and opportunity to take the full array of premed requirements that the med schools list as necessary .

Don’t worry or waste your breath – someone with this question and lack of research on the issue would never make it into med school anyway. Fortunately. [/quote]
