<p>Hey, im your average student trying to get into a college that offers premed or prepharmacy...most schools that offer these major's are top notch schools, with my gpa being a 3.4 and my sat's are average.... are their any prospective colleges you might have in mind..
preferably EAST COAST</p>
<p>Most schools actually don't have an official pre-med MAJOR. Pre-med is more accurately described as an advising category. You can major in anything you'd like, including non-science subjects. Pre-med students must take a year each of biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry and physics - all with lab. A semester of calculus and a semester of stats will fulfill the math requirements at most medical schools.</p>
<p>Without question, you should go to a school you love, and major in something you enjoy. It can be anything. Students in my medical school class had majors ranging from music to history to sociology to business to biology to genetics to neuroscience to journalism to dance.</p>
<p>Okay, i got the misconception you must actually major, in well- premed or prepharmacy..</p>
<p>I love sciece, period, and helping out people.</p>
<p>So it's natural that i would become some sort of doctor, I'm thinking neurology... but I also have interests in pharmacy and how drugs affect people.</p>
<p>So as an undergraduate i don't have to go to a college that offers premed, to...get into a med school?</p>

<p>UConn has a great pharmacy program, but it's not easy to get into.</p>
<p>You don't have to go to an undergrad that offers a pre-med major. </p>
<p>Almost all colleges will offer pre-med advising. I can't imagine that any school wouldn't...even if it's not the greatest quality advice. Perhaps some very small colleges would be without a pre-med advisor. This advising system will help you navigate the path to medical school, make sure you take the right courses, etc. </p>
<p>Again, major in what interests you. Also, remember, you can love science and help people in a number of different ways. You don't have to be a doctor. You need to make sure you like people too - and liking and wanting to help people are two different things...(Certainly, medicine requires a great understanding of science, but in day to day private practice, the entirety of your day is in dealing with people, not hunkered over microscopes or running around with beakers.)</p>
<p>Thanks for your imput..

<p>My son is in his first year at Clemson in biomedical engineering - may go into medicine and quite alot of his friends are keeping them options open. Chemistry is a big undergrad major prior to medical school too. He loves Clemson</p>
