Pre Medicine

<p>What is the best track toward getting into med school from Texas A&M? Should I major in Biomedical science, or perhaps Chemistry. Also, does anyone know the success rate of medical school applicants from Texas A&M or job opportunities relating to Biomedical Science if I decide not to attend Med School?</p>

<p>I don't necessarily know the overall acceptance stats, they "shouldn't" matter. </p>

<p>But neither should your major.
Med Schools don't care what you major in. In fact, they like the idea of you majoring in something non-science like because they know you'll devote the rest of your life to science so it's better to get experience in something else now. Choose a Major you like, we have programs that'll get you set up well no matter what. 100% of our Music majors get accepted to Med School (there's been 4 of those).</p>

<p>Now, I'm pre-med. If I could just dive into whatever major I wanted, I would choose philosophy, but how is philosophy going to help me on the MCAT? or in my job? It won't. I'm a BIO major, and I enjoy it, although I hear Biomedical is easier.</p>

<p>In terms of Job opportunities, it all depends on you. Personally, I studied to get my Pharmacy Technician Certification outside of school out of a book and now I have the chance to work at a hospital Pharmacy. Chem to Bio to BIMS isn't going to make much difference if you're going into the health field.</p>

<p>Whooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooo
I just got into medical school yesterday- 4 pre-match offers! :-)
Just want to let you know that I was History and Psyc- so do what you want! It's about having a passion for your subject, not about doing what you think is the usual path.
Just wanted to share the happiness!</p>

<p>my uncle went to tamu and graduated 96?
he is now an anesthesiologist
he majored in biomedical science.</p>
