There is no preferred or required premedical major.
Medical schools seek to admit students with diverse educational backgrounds.
Premedical students are strongly encouraged to choose a major based on their academic interests and abilities. Strong grades, demanding courses, and a well-rounded curriculum are more important than a student's choice of major. Although one particular major is not preferred or required, medical schools generally share four common requirements. Many medical schools also require one year of English. Courses taken to meet medical school requirements should be rigorous and appropriate as a background for medical studies.
