<p>I like biology but I hate chemistry. I am however fascinated with medicine and read medical books in my spare time. Since I hate chemistry could I still become a doctor? If I go into a pre-med track would my dislike of chemistry make it and med school difficult to finish? FYI I have no parental pressure and I'm not in it for the money.</p>
<p>It’s unthinkable to attempt advanced biology courses without having a strong grasp of chemistry and biochemistry. Perhaps you don’t yet know enough to let visceral likes and dislikes affect your career choices.</p>
<p>@daisyandroscoe1: I respectfully suggest you may have misstated the fundamental issue. It’s entirely possible to hate a subject (like chemistry), but to excel in it at the pre-med/undergraduate level (obviously, however, it would be far better if you were enthusiastic about all the sciences). Therefore, the essential question might really be, “can I thoroughly learn everything required and attain top grades, despite loathing chemistry?” If so, you “could” endure chemistry and move forward. If not, you’re almost certainly not going to be admitted to any respectable med school.</p>
<p>Obviously, only you can resolve this dilemma. </p>
<p>P. S.: fogcity’s points are entirely valid. </p>
