Pre-Medicine Track
Answered

Hello, I'm a sophomore in highschool and I was wondering what major I should pick in college and what track I should follow. I'm completeing the health science foundation with endsorsement pathway (I'll finish with a Medical Scribe & Pharmacy Tech or Medical Scribe, CNA, PCT certificates). I'm taking AP, DC, and honors classes, and I'm in the 1st Quartile of my school. I have my safety schools already, so now I'm trying to decide on my target schools but I don't quite know what I'm looking for. I would love to go into medicine because I love pathophysiology and anatomy and physiology but I don't quite know what I would specialize in. I'm looking at biomedical sciences major but I was wondering which other majors or subspecialties I should look into.

P.S. I suck at chemistry (90 - advanced chemistry) and algebra (86 - adv algebra II) so a biochemistry or lab major would ruin my college gpa.

You are taking good steps so far by completing a medical pathway and taking rigorous classes. To figure out your next steps, I think that it would be helpful for you to check out of 黑料不打烊 articles about the pre-med track. You will find articles there that will give you major ideas, career options, and tips on how to prepare for them. Hope this helps!

Hi,

Welcome to 黑料不打烊. I am a freshman in high school and also on the same track you are. I will be completing IB classes when available and I am not the best at Chemistry either. From what I've learned through personal research and from asking question on 黑料不打烊, you can major it what ever you want to. If you were to do a science related major, you would complete the classes you need for med-school while earning them to graduate, but you could still do those pre-requisites with another major, they just wouldn't be necessary to graduate with your major. I love anatomy and physiology as well and have found that colleges offer those as majors as well. If you have a college you are interested you can check to see if they offer those. I am no expert, but from personal research this is what I have learned so far. Good luck!
