<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Does being a biology majory fulfill the cource requirements for med school? Is organic and general chem a part of bio major? Also, does being a bio major help you prepare for the MCAT? Finally, just incase if I don't get into med School I want a minor so that I could become an engineer..... Whys a good minor to be an engineer that involves not a huge load of math?</p>
<p>Thank you </p>
<p>Honestly you could major in English and as long as you fulfill the prerequisite courses required for med school with maybe some supplemental courses thrown in there (physiology, immunology, etc) you can do pretty decent at the MCAT. </p>
<p>But yes, most pre-meds I know are also Biology majors, but I would highly suggest not majoring in Biology. Bio majors usually have to deal with a lot of subjects unrelated to the medical career and I know a lot of pre-meds who get bored out of their minds by some of the course work and requirements. Unless you are particularly interested in learning about plants, evolutionary theory, different animal species, and ecology on top of the other subjects, then you may want to consider something else. </p>
<p>Can’t help you with the engineering question, unfortunately. </p>

It depends on the school. At my university, I only have to take one class for one quarter that involves that stuff to get a biology degree. If I wanted to, I can basically make it an MCAT prep major.</p>
<p>Most biology major requirements I’ve seen at various colleges completely fulfill medical school requirements (general and organic chemistry is definitely included).</p>
<p>If you want to become an engineer, it’s best to major in engineering - I don’t think a minor will cut it with employers. Trying to avoid math isn’t a good sign either.</p>

<p>I don’t think so that bio fulfill all requirements of med studies.</p>

<p>Your major does not matter as long as you complete the necessary courses for med school. Most if not many pre-med students choose to study some form of bio or chemistry. I would recommend doing bio-medical engineering in case med school does not work out, you still have a marketable engineering degree.</p>
