Help! Want to transfer to Med school...don't know what courses need to be taken..know a good website?

Question

Its hard to reach a counselor at the JC i'm currently attending. I was just wondering if there was a website that tells me what courses I need to transfer to Med school...can anybody help? Thanks

Answer 1

Each med school has it's own set of required courses. There's usually a fair bit of overlap, but you definitely need to check each med school's website for those classes that don't overlap.

Worry more about just transferring into a 4 year med. Remember, your major doesn't matter to med schools, just that you finish the required courses. However, if you pick a science major, it's easier to get into the required science courses you've yet to take.

Answer 2

Ok buddy. Transfer to a four year college. Take Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Physics. All med schools require these courses. Some also require biochemistry and calculus.
Go to http://www.aamc.org/students/applying/msar.htm or at least the AAMC website (american association of medical colleges) which in the service that you are required to go through to apply to med school. They have the steps to applying laid out pretty clearly.
Good luck.

Answer 3

It's best to have a degree in Biology, Chemistry (any science) or even a pre-med major. But you can't just transfer to Med school, you have to apply and be accepted which is really tough and competative. Most schools you have to write essays and have pretty good recomendations to get in. But check the school you want to attend and see what their reqs are.

Answer 4

No one on Yahoo Answers or your JC can answer your question. Trust me, the only place that can give you the right answer is the actual Med school you want to attend.

Good Luck!

Answer 5

If you put medical schools into your web search, you will have your choice of web sites to use.
