Prerequisites Question..

[Vivid03]

So up until today I thought you only needed one semester hour of the prerequisites to be able to go to medical school. After looking at Mcgill I noticed you need 6 credit hours of the three main sciences and 3 of Org. Anyways just wondering is this standard for most schools (the credit hours)? Also the max course load at my school is 5 classes a semester if I take 4 a semester for the first year (that is the minimum to be considered a full time student) will I be looked down upon by other Universities? I don't want to overload on all the possible work and just want to focus on my prerequisites before focusing on getting a business degree.

 

Thanks

Its not the standard. Each medschool has their own requirements. Some do not require you to have all the three sciences. But usually when they say general chemistry is a requirement, they mean a full year course or equivalent.
