Understanding a science degree.?

Question

Ok, so I want to become a doctor, and lately I have been a bit obsessive about it. So with a science degree, what happens? The med. school part I understand, put not the undergraduate degree. I mean, can you take english course in a science degree, cause some med. school profiles say that you need english and social science along with the science courses. And when do you choose your courses? When you get there or when you apply or after you are accepted? Please help, be detailed. Help. Thanks

Well you will have to do all of the same core subjects no matter what your major is. So everyone has to take a certain amount of English, history, social science etc. So with that you should already meet the English and social science requirements, because pretty much everyone who graduates from any major. meets them.

To get into medical school you don't even HAVE to major in a science, you just have to take all the science prerequisites. So you could major in Advertising, but as long as you take all the chemistry, biology, physics, and math required then you can get it, and actually a lot of schools encourage this because it diversifies you from all of the other applicants who all look the same on paper.

You choose your undergraduate courses before you start your fall semester. Usually you would being with all core intro classes anyway, i.e. intro sciences, math, history, poly sci. As you go on then you continue on with your pre-med program or your major, where there is usually a list of classes you must take and then some electives as well.

Once in medical school you don't really choose courses, or at least not with as much freedom as in undergrad. First you just take whats required when you get there, and then depending on what you specialize in you start taking different ones that are required.
