<p>Then what do they usually major in???</p>
<p>Pre-Med and Pre-Law or Pre-Anything are advising programs that help guide a student who wants to go onto medical, law school, etc in the direction of getting into them. </p>
<p>Many Pre-Med students major in biology or chemistry, or something like that. </p>
<p>Pre-Law students can major in really almost anything, but some popular ones are political science, history, philosophy, etc.</p>
<p>Pre-Law and Pre-Major are just a set of courses that people going into those fields should take. It's kind of like a minor. Your college will be able to explain it to you more.</p>
<p>You can study anything.</p>
<p>Even as pre-med, you should study whatever you are passionate about. Medical schools do not care what your major is.</p>
<p>Sometimes they are majors. When they are, you probably shouldn't do them, especially pre-law.</p>
<p>Premed students can also major in anything, as long as they take the necessary classes/tests.</p>
<p>What major then would you recommend before pre-med??</p>
<p>Like chemical engineering?? or just chemistry of bio??</p>
<p>How is engineering???</p>
<p>I would recommend you study what interests you most. ChemE, chem, bio, and other rigorous majors will give you good preparation for medical school. Engineering is generally difficult and generally grades hard, but provides some of the best job possibilities of any bachelor's degree.</p>
<p>Lax2100, all the answers you received so far are absolutely correct, especially in law. Law schools will teach you what is required to become a successful lawyer. All the so called law courses you might have taken as an undergrad will be of little or no value to you. DRab is right on target when he/she recommends you take what interests you most and that is true for both med and law. What is important for a premed is to get some quality time at a hospital or by shadowing an MD so that you will understand the requirements of a doctor and prove to the admissions committee that you have a genuine interest in the practice of medicine. Even if you graduate without the prerequisites required for medical school, many universities offer the opportunity for a "post baccalaureate", so that you can complete them and still be successful in getting accepted to medical school. For law school, it is not unusual for an applicant to apply 3-5 years after graduation, thereby getting valuable work experience and a more mature perspective on the law as a career. Law schools welcome experience in their applicants.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Edit. Spelling!</p>
<p>If you plan on going to med school, NEVER do engineering undergrad. The work is so hard and grading so tough at basically any school that you will ruin your chances of getting into any medical school.</p>
<p>oh,,, ok thanks for a great advice,,</p>
<p>How about biomedical engineering before applying to Med-school?
Is it still too tough??? or Is it even okay to take that??</p>
<p>Just major in whatever you like the most, (hypothetical situation) if you're in love with theatre but decide to major in Biology in stead, you'll probably regret it for the rest of your life.</p>
