Biology vs Biochemistry

<p>Does it really matter what major I major in during my pre-med process?
What helps the most during med school? Biology or Biochemistry</p>

<p>It is not too important as long as you take the courses that are required for medical school admission. It just so happens that a biochemistry degree is usually a better match for those courses as a standard part of the curriculum.</p>

<p>Pre-meds can have any major, as long as they take the pre-med courses (which do vary slightly by medical school). Biology and biochemistry may be “convenient” in that their major requirements typically cover most of the pre-med courses, but it is certainly possible to major in something unrelated and take the pre-med courses alongside.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for the responses!</p>
