<p>Do you really need to be in premed to go to medical school?</p>
<p>You have to fulfill pre-med requirements, but no, your major doesn't have to be pre-med.</p>
<p>Most schools do not have an actual major called Pre-medicine. The premed requirements are so few that it wouldn't constitute a major for a Bachelors: Gen Bio I/II, Gen Chem I/II, Organic Chem I/II, General Physics I/II --> all with labs, plus one more upper level bio class.</p>
<p>"Premed" is anybody who takes the aforementioned courses and plans to apply to medical school. So in that sense, yes.</p>
