BBA => MedSchool?

College Majors Business Major

Hi CollegeConfidential,

I’m want to get a business undergrad degree (BBA), but I also want to do medical school. So by following pre-med curriculum at certain universities should prepare me for the MCAT and such, but would it look good for the medical schools or would they look down on me because I didn’t do a science undergrad study?

Thanks :)>-

Many non-hard science majors go on to med school but I’m honestly not sure how being business major would play in terms of med school applications. From what I understand the pre-med coursework consists of 2 bio, 2 chem, 2 organic chem, 2 physics and 2 calculus. It may be difficult to fit in all of these classes with some business curriculum.

To me, I feel like pure science degree was useless unless you got a PhD (otherwise, you’ll probably be a teacher with only a B.S), so I wanted to do either a finance degree or engineering for my undergrad studies

Thanks for the advice!

Try doing an Econ major. It’s actually more common than you think for people to do Econ major then go onto Med. School

@GriffBaum Yeah, I was divided between BBA or Financial Analysis, so when happy1 said that it would be difficult to go to med school, I just switched to Finance :)>-

Thanks for your advice!
