<p>First you should learn that there is no such thing as a “pre med program”. </p>
<p>US Medical schools require applicants to fulfill pre-requisite courses and submit MCAT test scores. For students in US colleges, they can major in anything and then apply to medical schools – provided that they fulfill these pre-reqs. “Pre Med” is a track of courses and advising that most reputable colleges will provide. But there is no such thing as a Pre-Med major. Many med school applicants major in Bio or Chem since the med school pre-reqs fall into these realms – but it’s not a necessity to major in either.</p>
<p>For your specific case, you need to try to get into a college where you’ll be able to have a superior GPA in your major (over 3.5) and top grades in the pre-req classes – and then you’ll need great MCAT scores. My concern is your 3.2 GPA in HS. What will change? Unless you’re prepared to go down that road and handle that challenge, it’s highly unlikely you’ll be a successful applicant in an American medical school. Certainly we’ll need more physicians. I sincerely hope you’re up to the challenge. Have a talk w/your guidance counselor and ask him/her about the best colleges you should target given your academic record and as well as your aspirations and which schools you can afford. Good luck.</p>
