An odd question...

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics
1

<p>If I am a nonscience major, and plan on applying to medical schools, what research opportunities are open to me? Can I do research with only the premed requisites? If I am an accounting major, and plan on applying to medical school, what extracurricular activities should I consider participating in? Do extracurricular activities help me in getting accepted to medical schools, and if they do, how much of a difference will the make to help me get accepted? When applying to college as an undergraduate student, extracurriculars can help your application significantly. Is this also true with medical school?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Extracurriculars are crucial/mandatory for admissions into medical school. a 3.9, 41 with no extracurriculars will get in somewhere, but not to the top several schools (which he'd otherwise have a good shot at).</p>

<p>Does this mean that doing some research and volunteering would cut it? Or would you have to join clubs, get leadership positions, etc.?</p>

<p>You need research and clinical experience - and trust me, it'd be far easier to just join clubs and get "leadership" positions.</p>
