<p>i'm new to this and dont know how it works but here goes...i'm a sophomore hoping to major in pre-med i have taken honors biology, chemistry, and physics. i plan to take AP biology next year. Should i take AP chem or physics my senior year, or should i take one next year with the AP bio or both my senior year? Also have been looking at colleges and notcing a lot don't have actual pre-med majors so what is a good major if they dont? Also what are the best school with actual pre-med programs? I have a 4.26 weighted GPA, where would be good for me?</p>
<p>I was also wondering if doing sports and being pre-med is possible, i play volleyball and i pole vault. I think it migh be able to help be get into some schools if i play for them. Is it even a good idea to consider this? let me know</p>

<p>1) Major in what you like. Premed is a set of courses that you must take in addition to your major courses in order to qualify for entry into medical school (as well as prep you for the MCAT)</p>
<p>2) Schools with premed majors tend to be pretty poor. You would probably be better off looking for a school that is solid in science overall.</p>
<p>3) Sports and premed is a great mix. First of all, it will be a great way to relieve stress from studying. Secondly, it's always nice to have something extra on your resume that others don't have when it comes time for applying to medical school. Sports would be a great idea! (especially if it can draw a college's attention to you!)</p>
<p>thanks for the info that does help... anouther questions is it better to major in like a chem or a bio or does it not really matter</p>
<p>It really doesn't matter. My recommendation would be to major in something you enjoy so that the grades come easier.</p>
<p>If you happen to be interested in bio or chem, then that's great...you can probably knock out a lot of your premed requirements that way.</p>
