Is this realistic?

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics
1

<p>I am currently a freshmen in college and my current major is international relations but lately I've taken an interest in keeping the medical window open. My major calls for about 80 credits to graduate leaving me 40ish as "Electives", I was wondering if I were to fill this electives spot with pre-med requirements and then later chose to go to med school would my application be hindered at all by my major being non-science related and me only talking slightly more than the bare minimal of required classes for the application in the first place? I would plan to maintain a high GPA not only in my Science classes but also in my first major(Which is a reading and writing intensive major based around economics, history and political science). </p>

<p>Thanks for reading.</p>

<p>English and philosophy majors get into med school. You’re good to go in any academic major.</p>

<p>My only suggestion is that you keep in contact with the health profession advisors at your school since the MCAT will undergo significant changes in 2015 and med schools are revising entry requirements to better match the new MCAT,</p>

<p>no, adcoms like “non science” majors.</p>

<p>With maybe the exception of “research” schools (harvard,) you may be helped by it. Good friend decided summer of junior year to go premed. Was Psych major. Did summer school chemistry and went to Stanford Med School.</p>

<p>I love how Harvard is suddenly a research school that dislikes non-science majors and Stanford is someone who will let just anyone in.</p>

<p>Basically every med school states the same thing on their website.</p>
