Question

Is Psychology (pre-med track) major good if I want to be a cardiologist?

no

i'd recommend u to go in human biology

Answer 2

No way.

Answer 3

Trust me, it makes absolutely no difference.  After you finish medial school you will apply to Internal Medicine Residency. Almost no one cares what your college major was when you apply to residency, all that matters is how you did in medical. After your first or second year of Internal Medicine Residency, you will apply for Cardiology fellowship. By this point NO ONE cares at all what you did in college, all that matters is your evaluations from Internal Medicine Residency and maybe how you did in medical school.

A good rule of thumb is that doing well in school only helps you get to the next level, doing well in high school matters for college, but doesn't help for med school. Doing well in college matters for med school, but not doesn't matter for residency, etc....

Answer 4

Psychology is fine.  You'll actually learn quite a bit about the scientific method and research and that sort of thing, which is helpful for medicine.  The best part about psych - NO LABS!

I majored in psych and was accepted into several med schools without problem.  Just make sure you get excellent grades and kick butt on the MCAT.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Well it would make you think about why you do what you do
