Can you major in a medical science and still go to law school?

I can’t decide what to major in. If I should be a doctor or lawyer. I figure if I major in a medical science, will I still be able to attend law school? If I do, how will law schools look at this on an application?

Law schools readily accept MDs into their schools, but no medical school will accept a lawyer unless the prereqs are completed and the MCAT is done.

You might want to consider this: obtaining MD/JD degrees at the same time. This is a link to schools that offer this combined degree program: http://services.aamc.org/currdir/section3/degree2.cfm?data=yes&program=mdjd

Law schools generally prefer a liberal arts background, but if you’re a good student and then do well on the LSAT, I think it would be OK. Many people don’t realize that there’s no such thing as “pre-law” studies.

I am curious–doctor or lawyer are two very different professions. Are you just looking to make big bucks?
