<p>I'll give you a little background on myself. Currently I am a nursing major/psychology minor with a 3.5, just entered my second year. I was never 100% sure what I wanted to major in but my parents pushed the healthcare field/nursing on me. For the longest time I became resentful, school was the last place I wanted to be. I never studied & didn't make important to go to class but I luckily am naturally smart & still did well. But as my first year ended & summer came I volunteered at hospital & took summer classes. Being in a hospital made me realize I enjoy medicine, helping people & being in a hospital setting. It crosses my mind a lot of wanting to switch into pre med & major in biology but my question is is it too late? Will medical schools frown upon someone who majored in nursing & switched out? Also I do have a 3.5 currently since I did not try & ended up with some B+ in some courses such as Anatomy & Microbiology. I know if I tried I could get an A in such courses. Would this look bad or is it even too late to retake them? Even if I got all A's in my pre med Classes is it too late? I tried searching people who had similar stories but had no luck. I appreciate advice!</p>
<p>Yes, you can switch majors. No, med schools will not frown on the switch. But just understand that premed prereqs can he a whole lot more competitive than nursing courses, so A’s are not that easy to come by.</p>
<p>Start with Gen Chem and Gen Bio.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>OP–please be aware that the nursing versions of micro and anatomy likely will not count toward fulfilling requirements for medical school admissions. Any science coursework you take needs to be the version for science majors, not the version for allied health sciences. (Different content between the 2 classes.)</p>
<p>Good luck with your switch!</p>

<p>No one will judge you on this decisions. Adcoms will judge you though…on your MCAT score. Do the best you can with your classes, but you need to devote months, possibly years, to the MCAT. This will be the judge of your character. Adcoms judge you based on how well you do on this test.</p>
