No you don't, you can apply with any degree attained from a recognized institution.
pre-med isn't a major its more like a list of extra classes that are required to apply to medical school
A person with a Spanish major who wants to be pre-med will need to focus on additional classes that will help with med school. Such classes include chemistry, biology, and math.
No it is not, I see it both ways, pre-med or pre-medical and premed or premedical.
Most four year universities and colleges will have some sort of pre med program. The pre med program is not a major, but advising to help you decide that medical school is the right decision for you and then help you get in and meet the requirements for medical school. Of you want to find a good premed program then look at the percentage of kids that applied to med school and got in.
college degree + med school degree
for most schools as well as just to be competitive yes it is important. Your GPA is a big factor in getting in along with your MCAT score. You could try to complete a premed program in lieu of it. Either way you must complete the core courses.
No- in fact, they don't typically accept UVa undergrads into their med-school other than the top, top, top students. They want more variety. If you want to go to UVa for med school, go somewhere else with a good premed program.
yes .... a bachelor degree is necessary to be accepted into med school. however not sure if that is true for the m-cat
You can get into med school with any degree as long as you take the pre-reqs for med school, its usually 1 yr of bio, chem, organic, physics and some other classes. Alot of ppl say that if you have a non-science major it makes you stand out a bit from other med school candidates, but make sure your GPA and Mcat scores are competitive.
No school, INCLUDING Harvard, combines college with med school. You still need your bachelors degree before you can go to med school ANYWHERE. Some schools may have programs where you can shorten the span from 8 years to 7 but no school combines them.
Pre-med is not a degree. It is typically a program within a degree to ensure an individual who will be pursing a medical degree has all the appropriate prerequisites required for medical school. In essence, students who wish to apply to medical school come from a variety of disciplines.
