“what premed major will maximize my chances of  getting into medical school?” Here’s my response.

First, at most colleges, there is no such thing  as a “premed major.” You can technically choose  

whatever major you like, so long as you  complete the medical school prerequisites.

The only difference is that some make  the process less complicated than others.

If your top priority is getting  into medical school, I recommend  

you pursue a major in biological science -  particularly one that is of interest to you.

The requirements for your major will overlap  nicely with your medical school prerequisites,  

minimizing the number of classes you need to take.

That being said, there are students who still  would rather pursue something else. If you  

have a burning interest in political science, for  instance, don’t be afraid to follow that passion.

There may be less overlap between medical school  prerequisites and your major requirements,  

but some medical schools might actually  prefer your unique background and interests.

Whatever major you choose though,  

it’s crucial that you take the time to  hone your work ethic and study strategies.

Medical school is the toughest,  

most rigorous schooling in the world  - make sure you’re prepared for it.
