Rachel’s Answer

Any 4 year university should be able to provide you with all of the premed requirements (1 year biology, 1 year inorganic chemistry, 1 year organic chemistry + labs, physics, calculus, and biochemistry). Once accepted to medical school, as long as you pass your classes and perform reasonably well during your four years of medical training, you can apply for a 3- 5 year residency. Minimum 11 years after highschool.
