Prelaw vs. prebusiness vs. premed

<p>I know you can't fully generalize, but what characteristics/interests do you think a person must have to pursue medicine, law, and business?</p>

<p>I am interested in all three and really want to figure out what I want to do.
I am a freshman at Northwestern and am currently taking General Chemistry as a premed.
However, I am really interested in business and law and although there are only a few courses required for premeds, I really do not want to take them unless I am sure I want to pursue medicine and not law or business.
I know orgo, bio, and physics would only bring my GPA down and severely hurt my chances of getting into a top law or business school.</p>

<p>If I am premed, I would just want to get into a medical school in the U.S.
If I am prelaw or prebusiness, I would definitely want to get into a TOP law or business school because this is where the graduate school makes a big difference in career/salary later.</p>

<p>I really am not sure which one to pursue wholeheartedly and am trying to figure out which one would make me most happy and which one I would be best at.
What qualities do you think someone has that makes them right for medicine, law, or business?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Only you can make that decision. People can make generalizations on here all they want, but ultimately, you DO know what you want. I’d suggest trying for some internships this summer; look into small law firms and do some volunteer work in an ER. It will give you a feel for what real world work is like.</p>
