<p>This topic is really what the title says.</p>
<p>I'm in the process of searching for colleges, and the whole Pre-Med thing just confuses me. </p>
<p>I was wondering if someone could elaborate how it works, and kind of outline how i can eventually get into medical school?</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>From what I understand certain schools have Pre-Med Major which basically allows you to fulfill all the required courses to get into Medical School. Getting into medical school is just that, get as high a GPA as you can, take the MCAT test sometime during your Junior year, and do a ton of research/internships whenever you can.</p>
<p>Other schools that don’t offer a pre-med major, you can take a different major like say Philosophy or English, and then just also take classes that will check off the requirements for pre-med (these include oraganic chemistry I and II, biology I and II, ect. ect. ect.)</p>
<p>Myself, Im doing biomedical engineering at Boston University, and some of my engineering classes overlap with the requirements for my pre-med so it works very well.</p>
<p>Ok that clears it up alot. Thanks!</p>
<p>I wouldn’t major in “pre-med” or anything like it. Pick a major that you are interested in and will be valuable should you not go to medical school for whatever reason.</p>
<p>Go to a 4-year university, get your degree in whatever you want, and do well in your classes. Don’t choose a college based on admission rates to med school-these numbers are virtually useless. Get involved early with groups you are interested in whether they are medically-related or not, but make sure you do at least some sort of volunteering or work in a clinical setting.</p>
<p>Overall if you are enjoying everything college has to offer, doing well in your classes, getting involved in different activities, and can talk about all of it in an interview, you’re on the right track.</p>
