<p>If I were to apply to college and begin a pre-med program while completing the courses for medical school can i major in something else or will I be majoring in a certain science course? I'm not sure if my question makes sense. </p>
<p>Sorry it doesn’t.</p>
<p>You can major in anything you want and apply to med school, as long as you complete the med school prerequisite courses (which may vary slightly by med school).</p>
<p>There’s a whole thread devoted to this topics:</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pre-med-topics/214387-what-should-premed-major.html”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pre-med-topics/214387-what-should-premed-major.html</a></p>
<p>But basically you major in almost anything so long as you complete the required pre-reqs for medical school.</p>
<p>What are these pre-reqs?</p>
<p>2 semesters general chem w/labs
2 semesters organic chem w/labs
2 semesters of biology w/labs (some school have specific bio course requirements)
2 semesters of general physics (algebra-based is fine unless your undergrad or major requires calc-based)
2 semesters of college level math, one of which should be statistics
2 semesters of writing intensive classes
1 semester of intro psych
1 semester of intro sociology</p>
<p>Specific medical schools may additional requirements (genetics, anatomy & physiology, upper level humanities/social sciences, etc) </p>
<p>Thanks, I was just slightly confused on how that worked, whether I could major in anything or if it had to be a specific science major while doing a pre-med program. I wasn’t sure how to phrase the question since I couldn’t really explain what I was thinking.</p>
<p>If you are in college, you should be able to major in anything.as long as you cover the required classes listed by AAMC.</p>
