Yasemin’s Answer

Hi Noah! In addition to the previous answer, I would also make sure to get involved with some notable activities for medicine. Volunteer in a hospital or clinic, interact with patients, shadow a physician, this may not be criteria per se, like MCAT score or taking prerequisites for medical school but they matter just as much when applying. As a side note, you can be ANY major and apply to medical school it is important to take the prerequisite courses, such as biology, chemistry, physics, etc. When you are in college please seek out a pre-medical adviser who can give you specific advice about medical school admissions. Please let me know if you have specific/future questions also make sure to check AAMC/AACOMAS for MD and DO programs as well as Medical School Headquarter by Dr.Gray on YouTube- he gives great and realistic advice!

I wish you the best!
