should i major in mathematics, chemistry, biology ect

I would advise you to choose the HUMANITIES and focus on getting A's in the pre-med prerequisites instead. I explained it very thoroughly for another person who asked your question. Check out what I said: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsxN.ySN3uxDJqLim2lXYY7sy6IX?qid=1006042121134

I love psychology, but you're right about the amount of reading at first. It gets easier later on, though, because you know most of the stuff from the other courses you've already taken. And you get to do research as an undergrad if you're lucky! I also liked microbiology, anatomy, English composition, calculus, and statistics.

I think they would accept any major.  But you would need a good background in chemistry, biology, and math.  Figure out which school you'd like to attend and then check for specific requirements.  If that doesn't work out you could always go into nursing, a field that will boom as there is a major need for nurses right now, and really good pay too.

I'd pick drama and engineering.  Drama will help you learn to act in groups and that can't hurt you later in life!  Engineering is just plain attractive to college admissions people.  The other 2 you can do on your own, you don't need to take classes in it.

I would definitely take AP Calc.  I'm a biochem major in college now, and the chem classes at a university are definitely a lot more beneficial than at the high school level.  Plus, it's better to get the calc out of the way so you can start taking the physics sequences for p-chem.  The only thing is, I would check with the college you are going to to see if the second calc class is offered the semester/quarter you are starting in college.  If not, then you might have to wait a while to take it.

Hi  Buddy...If you are interested in engineering...go for CET...I am a BCA graduate myself and i cantell you that its a wholesome computer application field...unlike Bsc...there wont be science and maths in it...\nso if you are more interested in science than computers...i would advise...go for Bsc.Moreover do Bsc if you have good maths background...i was'nt good in maths but i knew computers well enough...if you are like me...opt for BCA

You must take the MCAT.  Since you have a science major, you probably could get into a med school with a decent score on the MCAT.  I don't know if there are any other tests you may need to take because you are from a different country.  Start visiting college websites and contact admissions.  They will point you in the right direction.

Perhaps you should change your major to a related field, one that doesn't require heavy math/science ability.\n\nTalk to a school advisor.  That's what they are there for.

I think that you will find that if you want to do forensic science that you will have to have at least some chemistry. Much of what you do as a forensic scientist is chemical analysis, so that is important. It involves a great deal of biology, as well.\n\nMy sense is that you should major in biology, or at least minor in it. Do you have access to a biological anthropology (or medical anthropology) degree program? That will give you some more biology, as well as understanding bones, bodies and things like that.

There is a group called pure science group in many schools. It has Physics, Chemistry and Biology but no Maths. I think this would suit you. After finishing 12th you can try for Medical. All the Best.

Bio is a tough major--many students are pre-med & many change their major from bio.  You have to study alot of math, physics & chemistry.  IF YOU CAN GO TO A SMALLER UNIVERSITY.  At the large universities the classes are very large (300+) & very competitive.  No degree will be any good if you don't have a good GPA.\n\nIf you like anatomy, consider kinesiology or physical therapy.  \n\nAlso, there's not alot of "biology" classes w/ a bio major.  Here's one as an example:\nhttp://www.temple.edu/bulletin/Academic_programs/schools_colleges/cst/programs/biology/cst_biology.shtm#major_bs\n\nHere's a link to "what can you do with this major" so you can check them all out.\nhttp://www.temple.edu/careerdev/Student_MajorInfo.htm\n\nGood luck.  Don't major in biology unless you are ready to be very devoted to your studies.

If you don't socialize with people, then teaching isn't for you. If you find chemistry hard, you probably find biochem hard, too.\nYou could go into mircobiology or ecology.

I don't think there is anything specific you would need in high school as long as you take all the general classes like math science english with whatever electives.  It's only when you're in college do the courses really matter. High school only preps you for stuff. Regardless of whether you take bio or not, you're still gonna need college level bio, anatomy, kinesiology, organic chem, etc.  Even with advanced classes in high school you can't bypass those classes. At best you can skip like the general bio/chem but that's after you take AP classes.  In order to decide your interest, the BEST way to figure out whether you would like something or not is to volunteer. TRUST ME because it will save a lot of wasted time in college taking classes you won't want.  I spent about 2.5 years taking advanced chem/bio/physics thinking I wanted to be in the sciences to have it all go to waste. I wish I spent more time exploring different careers in high school to at least determine what I didn't like.  Picking a career is tough and only the rare few will find the things they truly love and enjoy.  GOOD LUCK!

If you take AP chemistry (or other science) that will knock out part of your pre-reqs, but to get into med school you will need more than just one biology and one chemistry. Even if you AP all possible course that meet pre-med requirements, you will still have to take higher levels of the same course.\nBut if you don't AP those course, you will have to take those basic course PLUS the higher levels. So either way getting credit for AP classes will help you out.

Well.. I am in med school- I did it the "traditional" way--- took all my science courses, majored in chemistry, blablabla.  But some of my best friends in medical school have been sociology majors, english majors, psychology majors, and I am sure there might be a philosophy major in there somewhere (but can't think of any off hand).  As far as scores go, there really isn't any difference in who does the best on the tests based on college area of study--- it just depends on how hard you study.  That's it.  Your undergrad classes don't predict nor do they fully prepare you for how hard medical school science courses will be.  Therefore, if you have a passion such as philosophy, I say, pursue it.  Once you begin medical school and pracitice medicine, it will consume your life and you will have little time for those passions.\n\nI also believe a good doctor is more than the some of his parts or the grades she made on exams.  You must be able to relate to people, treat the patient and not just the disease.  Empathy, sympathy, and understanding cannot be taught.  If you want to go to medical shcool, great.  Make good grades in college, be sure to take AT LEAST the minimal amount of science courses needed (ask your advisor or med school if you're unsure) and do really  well in those classes (all your classes really-- and the MCAT).  But major in wahtever you want, whatever makes you happy and whole.  Whether your passion is philosophy, astrophysics or molecular biology.  Study it and study the heck out of it.  Get involved in your community and the medical field early on.\n\nWill studying philosophy make you a better doctor?  No, not necessarily.  But if it's something you're passionate about and you pursue your passion while also completing the basic requirements, I think you will be better for it.  By studying something that interests you outside of science/medicine you iwll become more well-rounded and learn to look at htings in different ways. So go for it. You'll never get another chance like the persent to do so.\nHowever, if you have no desire to study philosophy then, it probably won't make you any better- so don't waste your time, find something else instead.

This may come as a shock, but the medical school will teach you anatomy and physiology. You just need general & organic chemistry, basic biology, basic physics. Don't waste time learning material that will be repeated in medical school. Get a broad prepatory education.
