I plan on applying to medical school after college. I know that taking the MCAT does not require you to major in any specific science, but will any science major give me a greater advantage over another?

I'm a junior in high school and I aspire to become a cardio-thoracic surgeon. I'm a little overwhelmed by all the information out there and would love a little guidance about future requirements. #doctor

There is a lot of chemistry and Biology on the MCAT. Most students take the MCAT in their junior year of college. Bio chemistry and organic chemistry is sometimes taken in the later years of college and if you haven't taken the classes before the MCAT it can cause you to not do well.


So with that in place I think majoring in Chemistry or Biology would give you a head start .
