Premed vs. Prelaw vs. Prebusiness

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<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>Why don’t you tell us your interests, and what draws you to each of these fields?</p>

<p>OP, In case you do not know it: In order to get into a top business school (I meant a MBA program here), you need to have some good work experience in the industry before application. Otherwise, most (if not all) of these top programs will likely not accept you.</p>

<p>I also heard that whoever wants to go into i-banking/consulting immediately after college needs good intern experiences. Just the grades won’t make it either.</p>
