I am willing to study a little more because I know I'll need more Biology. My biggest problem might be money, but if you could name some colleges/universities if this is possible that would be great! Thanks

You can go to any medical school with any Bachelor's degree as long as you have taken certain course requirements and have an adequate score on the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test). In fact, many schools may look at unconventional students (not the typical biology degree) more favorably as having unique strengths to bring to the profession. Here's a link with more information.

A friend of mine went to U of W MD school with a B. S. in Spanish. He had to take only a little catch up classes.. the one that struck me as odd was physics.
The reason it worked was because he was from Montana, and U of Washington had some kind of agreement with the State of Montana for a certain number of students to go to Med school from Montana.. at least then.

Of course, You "can be anything" you want.. You will be short some Pre-Med classes so be prepared to spend more time and money for more classes. your BS has no bearing on where you take your education.... Any PHD is a lot of hard work.... Good Luck make us proud...

Absolutely, even if you don't have the science background, there are lots of PG programs that will permit you to take the requisite courses so that you can apply to med school. check out the following sites.
