Anonymous asked: Hi! I'm so happy I stumbled upon this blog. Can you please tell me if choosing a different major other than a life sciences undergrad is really important? I mean do med schools really care about that? Do they like English majors? If you don't mind, where are you going for med school, what do you want to be, and what did you choose as your under grad major? Thank you!
Hi back at ya! I’m glad so glad you stumbled upon this blog too ;) Hope you enjoy it!
Med schools like well-rounded applicants - so basically what’s important is choosing a major that you’re interested in. You can be an English major and still be on the pre-med track. I’ve answered most of these questions in this previous post.
I’m currently attending the University of Medicine and Health Sciences in St Kitts. I’d like to be a pediatrician and a writer of sorts. My undergrad major was Biology, and I did a minor in English. I also went to grad school for English Lit.
aspiringdoctors majored in the arts in undergrad. And if I remember correctly, I think baffledinbrooklyn had majored in something music related?
So go ahead, and pursue what you love! You can have your cake and eat it too the best of both worlds!
