I want to go to medical school @ UCLA. Should I major in something specific?

Question

Someone told me that you can major in english and still get in to medical school. True? If that's the case i was thinking of majoring in Women's Studies.

Answer 1

Since when was pre-med a major?  Major in biology like the other 90% of students do.  Medical school is hard enough to get in as it is.

Answer 2

I would think you have to go into a pre-med program.....dont you think ?

Answer 3

Probably pre-med, Biology or any other life sciences major. I think it's wise to contact UCLA School of Medicine and check with them just to be on the safe side.

Answer 4

Why would you want to major in English if you plan on going to med school? I plan on going to med school but I'm majoring in Biology

Answer 5

You can major in anything.  However, you need to be able to do well on the MCAT exam, so women's studies might not help you very much.
