<p>Hi, I just finished my freshman year at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and I'm an Actuarial Science major, but i want to know what are the names of courses at UIUC do i need to take to fulfill most medical schools' requirements?
1 yr of:
General biology,
Physics with lab,
General chemistry (inorganic chemistry) with lab,
Organic chemistry with lab,
Calculus(I've taken all Calc 1-3, so i guess i'm done with this requirement),
English</p>

<p>what is the acceptable GPA to get in to OK or top medical schools?</p>

<p>If i'm not majoring in chem, bio-chem or bio etc, just taking those courses for med school requirements, will i have a hard time studying in med school if i got in?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Course numbers at uiuc: One minute of googling gives me this link from YOUR school’s website: (Do not intend to be mean or anything like that. But some simple googling technique may be quite beneficial: add site:uiuc.edu in your search)

<p>I think GPA needs to be >3.65. Top medical schools? A high GPA alone can not get you into any top medical schools. You needs a high MCAT score (10 times harder than ACT or SAT) and even more importantly, impressive ECs/other achievements in addition to high GPA, IMHO.</p>
