What is the best major when planning to be a doctor?

There are prerequisites to get into medical school, and usually some sort of science degree, like chemistry or biology, will allow you to get them. If you are missing any of these requirements, you can always take the additional class after you graduate while you are applying. If you know what medical schools you would like to apply to, do some research and see what classes they require before you can apply to their school. I think the major matters less than getting the background in the subjects you will need. Some colleges even have a pre-med course, which might fulfill your requirements. Check with your college adviser, he or she can probably guide you toward the right classes.

My daughter is heading in this direction as well. I recommend you speak with an advisor to get the answer but I am pushing my daughter into a Bachelors in Nursing. I feel like it will give you the opportunity to learn about patient care, disease processes and treatment and who knows, you might want to continue to get your CRNP or DNP.
