By the way, a biology major is not mandatory. Unless of course, you are an foreign student, in which case, I don’t know exactly what the requirements elsewhere. If you are in the U.S., you could essentially major in anything…although you’d be best off in some sort of science major. The one concern is to make sure you meet all the requirements for admittance to med school.

My neighbor’s son has recently finished his residency,

In High School – took all the higher level courses that were available. Of course, math and science are important. He was super involved in school, community and church activities. He worked in the summer.

In College – his degree area was history. He had two advisers- one in history, on was pre-med. There is a core list of classes everyone applying to medical must have. He had one “B” in college. He was also every involved on campus. Lived in the dorm, was on the governing body which led to opportunities campus wide. There was a club for pre-med students. He applied for and was chosen for the cadaver team. All students don’t to work on it, just a selected few. Everyone gets to look. Have to do well on the M-Cat. Those scores, how your application looks, college transcript, involvement, references and interview all are part of applying to med school. You must develop strong references – college professors, community people, etc.

GOOD LUCK!!!

There’s no general medical major in college that will cover all of your interests. You should just start college as a pre-med student.
