<p>Ok. So I'm thinking about premed (like everyone and their mom's), and I have orientation coming up next month. I know orientation counselors will tell us what to do and all, but I want a student's help, too.</p>
<p>I'm thinking of a social science major... maybe econ or I don't know.. something in that field... What classes do I have to take to fill both PREMED and my major? I'm really confused... I know there's different series for math, chem, physics... :-\ :[</p>
<p>chem 14 series, physics 6 series, math 3 series</p>
<p>Use the search feature. </p>
<p>And obviously don't forget Life Science Series. (1,2,3,4)</p>
<p>You actually only need LS 1-3... LS4 is genetics and not so necessary for the MCAT, but if you think you can do well, go for it.</p>
<p>err.. I thought you had to take the Math 31 series. </p>
<p>economics major:
Economics</a> B.A.</p>
<p>right?</p>
<p>and from what I've read, you don't need LS1 unless you're a life science major...</p>
<p>you don't need 31 series if you're only premed. if you're econ major, you need to take a few 31 math classes. also, you do need life science 1 if you're premed.</p>
<p>Basically, any bio major requires LS1 as a prereq. However, there's a complication: medical schools require a full year of bio classes with lab components, and some schools may not consider LS4 to have a lab component.</p>
<p>Do most people take Life Science series their Freshmen or Sophomore year?</p>
<p>im finally taking LS im junior year... i know i am late..</p>
<p>Winter/Spring of 1st year.</p>
<p>WAIT. What math do I have to take? Can I take math 3 or math 31?!</p>
<p>what do you mean I don't have to take math 31 but have to take "some"..</p>
<p>and I know for LS.. I don't need to take LS1 if I'm not a bio major, as stated on the threads.</p>
<p>please help :(</p>
<p>don't you need LS1 for med school requirements? most premeds i know take math 3 series instead of the 31 series</p>
<p>you need to decide quickly whether you want to do econ/bizecon or some other major. For any econ major you MUST take the math 31 series. This series is harder, and thus it would be in your best interest to take the 3 series as a premed. however, if you don't have a solid idea of what you want to major in, then take the 31 series because it will work for any major (3 series only fulfills the math requirement for LS majors)</p>
