<p>I was just wondering if it was possible to major in something such as English, and go on to med-school if I fulfilled the course requirements. Like, if I majored in English or Engineering or something like that, and minored in science, because I am a stronger in other subjects (definitely not horrible in science). I know it might seem like a career in science isn't something I should partake in if science isn't my top subject, but as a high school sophomore I am scoring mid-high nineties in my science classes and know that I want to become an oncologist, it's just that I really like English and engineering, and honestly a lot of other subjects a lot more.</p>
<p>So, can I do this, and if so, do you have any suggestions of majors that might somehow intertwine into the science world?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Yes, you can definitely do that.</p>
<p>Wow, great. So if I majored in humanities, med-schools wouldn’t look at me lower than a bio major?</p>
<p>Right. Major in whatever you want, take the necessary premed classes, have meaningful extracurricular activities/experiences/volunteering/shadowing/leadership/clinical/research, and you should be golden. Good luck!</p>
<p>Some people might say it is advantageous to be a humanities major over a bio major, but I personally think that it varies school to school and thus isn’t worth factoring into the equation.</p>
<p>There are some schools who have publicly come out in favor of one side or the other in the humanities vs. science major debate, so it’s reasonable to expect that most schools likely have some bias, but in the end it all evens out to the point that on a macroscopic level, there’s no advantage one way or the other. And before anyone asks: no, it would be impossible (and incredibly stupid) to create a list of schools with know biases so people could selectively apply.</p>
