<p>Take any cluster you’re sincerely interested in. Medical schools look for interesting, well rounded individuals who are ‘more than just science.’</p>

<p>BTW, carmondd and all pre meds, the MCAT is undergoing significant revision and there will be a whole new format for the MCAT starting in 2015. There will be 4 sections (instead of 3) and there will be significant emphasis on non-science subjects</p>

<p>Carmondd, a psychiatrist is a MD/physician who specializes in psychiatry. Since a psychiatrist is a MD he/she can prescribe medication, give patients electro convulsive therapy (ECT) plus deliver babies, perform CPR, give injections etc. A psychologist has a PhD in psychology. Many lay people are unaware of the difference, but it can a sore subject for psychiatrists who are often incorrectly not considered “real doctors.” Shrinkrap, I’m assume you are a psychiatrist as was my late father.</p>
