Estelle’s Answer

I would recommend majoring in any field that you find interesting and that will allow you to achieve a high GPA . When applying to medical school you will need a 3.7 or 3.8 to be a competitive applicant.

Hi, Brianna,

Grades are the most important thing when applying to medical school after making sure you take the required classes in your undergraduate program. Visit you college health careers advising center to make sure your program meets the requirements. As far as which of those majors, chemistry will help you stand out among other medical school applicants. It is likely you will change your specialty focus over time (this is normal) so focus on excelling in the basic prerequisites (things you have to take first). Good luck!

Rachel’s Answer

Major in whatever field interests you and will allow you to maintain an excellent GPA. I majored in Spanish literature and had no trouble with my med school applications. You do need to complete the pre-med requirements, preferably with A’s. These include at least a year of biology, 1 year inorganic chemistry, 1 year organic chemistry + labs, physics, calculus, and biochemistry. Your junior year, you will need to take an MCAT study course prior to taking the MCAT. With a solid GPA and MCAT score, you should be a competitive applicant.
