Medill & Pre-Med

<p>Hi guys!</p>

<p>Is it possible to be a Medill student while on the pre-med track? If so, do I need to indicate this any where on the Common Application?</p>

<p>Do any of you have any insight to how difficult it is to fulfill both the journalism major and pre-med requirements?</p>

<p>Thank you for your help!</p>

<p>You can apply to med school with any major but med schools will have many specific requirements around science classes. Medill’s may not even have a science requirement so you would have to use all of your elective credits for science classes. I think it will be difficult but probably not impossible. It seems like an odd major for someone interested in medical school. Weinberg might be a better way to go. </p>

<p>I don’t know about how easy it would be to take the premed requirements from Medill, but I don’t see your major as “odd.” So many premed students major in stuff like music, English, and social sciences nowadays. As for the difficulty, it would probably be high, but possible.</p>
