Do you have to do pre med to get into med school?

Answer 1

All medical schools in the United States have pre-requisites for admission. Classically these consist of Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, English composition or some comparable class, and frequently a Statistics course. Some medical schools are also requiring Anatomy and Physiology classes, Biochemistry, and Microbiology. In addition to these courses, almost all require the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), which tests proficiency in many of these subjects.

No, you don't have to be enrolled in a Pre-Med program, but there are definitely a set of "pre-med" courses that are required prior to being accepted to any medical school.

Answer 2

Different medical schools require different courses for acceptance to their medical school, but most medical schools have similar requirements for which undergraduate courses must be taken (inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, etc.). The difference usually is in how much of a certain area they require (some require a semester of biochemistry while others require a full year for example). You'll have to visit the website of the medical schools to which you'd like to apply and get their specific requirements for prerequisite courses.
