B.A. for med school??

[medical]

Hi,

 

I know that most med schools don't care what you major in just as long as you get the pre requisities done. They check your gpa and then the MCAT for an interview...at least in the U.S. .... Anyway, I was wondering, now that mcgill dont require to take the mcat, is it still possible to major in arts get

 

the pre req and get in? Or do science majors have higher chances getting in because

theyre in science and mcgill can't test my science skills through the mcat ??

Thanks

whats your question? You still need to take the (sciency) pre-reqs.... so they look at how you science there. If your GPA for the pre-reqs is real crap then you're probably not in a good situation.

Hey,

 

Yeah, you can do a B.A. and get into medicine. There is one medical student right now that I know who did a B.A. in Philosophy and a minor in Mathematics. I'm not exactly sure what you're asking for in the last statement.

Yeah, your performance in the pre-reqs is enough of a test.
