<p>How would undergrad Psychology serve a student who might look into law school?</p>

<p>How would undergrad Psychology serve a student who might look into med school? (pediatrics, perhaps)</p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>It's easy, so good grades. Aside from that it really doesn't help or hurt for med or law school.</p>

<p>It works equally well for both graduate programs. I majored in psych and went to law school; a friend majored in psych and went to medical school. If you are considering medical school, however, just make sure you take all the med school prerequisites.</p>

<p>Here's a stupid question...Where does one find a list of med school pre-reqs?</p>

<p>As both posters have said, you can major in ANYTHING and still attend law/graduate school as long as you complete the prerequisites.</p>

<p>For Law school that is just maintaining a high GPA and taking the LSAT. For medical school, you need to look at the individual medical school admissions page.</p>

<p>A rough list of prereqs though are: Chem 1/2 w/lab, Organic 1/2 w/lab, Physics 1/2, Calculus 1/2, Biology, Microbiology, Genetics</p>

<p>Most schools have their pre-med reqs on their website. Make sure to check both your undergrad school AND the med schools you're considering.</p>

<p>To somewhat echo nshah, the basics that most all schools require are a year of each: biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, calculus, english.</p>
