I am Currently a Junior at the University of Utah with a Dual BS in Biology and Psychology with a minor in chemistry and a Psychology Human factors certification. I wasn’t thinking about Med school until I saw that Psychiatry is a medical degree. My current GPA is 3.4 I am almost completed with my Biology segment and my Psychology classes will raise my GPA.

1) Do I need to take anatomy? (if the school’s requirements don’t specify this class? Is it on the MCAT?)
2) My extra-curricular and volunteer is a little low is it too late?
3) My Chemistry and Biology classes GPA is about 3.2 is that bad?
4) My Biology research has been 3 failed experiences and was wondering if medical school would accept psychology research as well?

I’m starting my pre req’s for medical school this year.
This is what it says on the University of Washington SOM website:

2010 Course Requirements

The premedical course requirements must be completed before matriculation
but preferably before the time of application. Undergraduate or
post/baccalaureate courses must be completed at a college or university
accredited by the appropriate regional accrediting body. Courses must
include a minimum of:

5 semesters of Social Sciences or Humanities.
6 semesters of Chemistry and Biology.
1 semester of Physics plus 1 semester of Calc

It’s going to take me until I graduate to get my General Univeristy Requirements, degree, and THIS pre-med stuff done.

Dont you apply after your JUNIOR year? Will this be a problem if I don’t have the pre req’s before applying?

Im a sophomore in high school in Texas. I want to go to UT and most likely UT med school. My friend at UT majoring in Human Bio told me that medical schools will red-flag you if you didnt do courses like chemistry and biology on a 4-year institution. I was going to take Chemistry II AP offered to me next year and take Biology II AP my senior year so i have less stuff to worry about in college and get a headstart. But my friends comment makes me wonder if i shouldnt take it. My friend also said that her friends took those courses in highschool but never took the credit and it helped them in college. Should i take those courses? If so, should i get the credit for college anyways? Or is it just a waste of time and should i just take high school classes such as anatomy? Or does it actually help you do better in college? And my friends mom(who is a doctor) took anatomny and told me that anatomy doesnt help you in the med. field, is this true?

I’m in year 11, my last year of secondary school, and very soon will need to be chosing which subjects to study at A-Level.
Ultimately, i wish to do medicine, so i will be taking chemistry and biology, but I’m just wondering as to whether or not i would be at a disadvantage if i didn’t carry Mathematics onto A Level.
Is there a less chance of me getting onto a medical course?
Do univeristies prefer mathematics?
P.S.
I’m expected an A* at GCSE, if this makes any difference?

Im 16 and want to become a doctor. Could someone provide me with a link for the requirements for the medical schools in the UK because i know normally you need to take chemistry and biology at A level but i heard you need at least 6 A* at GCSE to get in. Is this true?

Thanks
