Can I major in accounting for medical school?

<p>I would like to go to medical school but also want a solid backup in case that doesn't pan out. Is there anything wrong with majoring in accounting? If this is possible, I don't see why more people don't do it since it would mean they are safe if they don't get into med school. I would of course take the pre-med requirements on the side.</p>

<p>I do not know the answer to you question. However, an accounting degree plus a solid gpa in science requirements would be great preparation for those med schools that offer the MD/MBA together.</p>

<p>It would be a lot of work, but I think you could do it. I have quite a few friends who are pre-med, with a wide range of majors, including dance. If you have strong credentials and meet the requirements for med school, you can major in just about anything.</p>

<p>Just beware of a VERY heavy workload, and pace yourself. Having a college degree in biology/chemistry/"typical" pre-med majors will still get you through life if you don't go to med school...</p>

<p>Accounting is ok ....but if you are not enthusiastic about it your grades may suffer precluding med school.</p>
