May12 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hello everybody, I am new to this forum, I found out that I don’t need to explicitly take a science degree to get into medical school, it is possible with an arts degree too, I am currently a 1st year Biomed student at the university of Ottawa and I was planning on switching to English next and taking the prerequisites as electives. Is this a solid choice or foolish. I would like to keep law school or teaching as a backup and an English degree gives me those options. Any advise would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicineLCS Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 You can apply to Law with a Science degree and Medicine with an Arts degree. Law is even more flexible in terms of degrees, one Supreme Court Justice had a music undergrad... you can definitely do an education after degree with a Science base. Do what you like, not what further degree is traditionally associated with an undergrad degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded frog Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Do whatever will get you the best GPA. Also note that while Ottawa still has prereqs, most of the other Canadian med schools have moved away from them so consider that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
