In college, you can major in any field and still attend medical school to become an OB/GYN. After medical school, you then complete a residency in OB/GYN to train and practice medicine.


Pick the major that is most interesting to you. You do not need to be a science major. Philosophy majors have the highest medical school acceptance rate in the country: https://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/medical-school-admissions-doctor/2015/08/12/shine-on-medical-school-applications-without-a-premed-major


You just need to take the medical school prerequisites (https://www.kaptest.com/study/mcat/the-prerequisites-of-medical-school/) and be involved in your community, in clinic, and in volunteering.


Learn about the medical path by reading books about pre-med preparation for medical school: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=pre-med

Estelle’s Answer

Becoming an Ob/Gyn is hard work and it takes quite a few years, but the job is completely worth the effort and time!
In the US, to apply to medical school, you need a bachelor's degree. Any 4-year university should suffice.

Pick a college that suits your personality and a major that interests you. You will need to get good grades in college in order to apply for medical school. At the medical school I attended, the average GPA is reported to be 3.85, so even one or two B's can hurt your chances of acceptance.

Aside from this, any major is acceptable as long as you complete the prerequisite courses.

Typical medical school prerequisites include:
Biology: Lecture – 4 semesters; Lab – 1 semester
General Chemistry: Lecture – 2 semesters; Lab – 1 semester
Organic Chemistry: Lecture – 2 semesters; Lab – 1 semester
Biochemistry: Lecture – 1 semester
General Physics: Lecture – 2 semesters; Lab – 1 semester
Math: Statistics – 1 semester
English: Rhetoric (Composition) and Literature – 2 semesters
