[header] How to get into medical school [title] Fulfill specific course requirements. [step] As long as you complete the requirements (mostly scientific in nature), you can major in anything you would like. For example, you must take courses in biology, chemistry, and physics to prepare for the medical college admissions test (mcat) and fulfill medical school prerequisites. 
As a result, many pre-med students major in a field of science. As it turns out, medical schools are looking to diversify their programs, so they are starting to accept more students with less conventional backgrounds that include degrees in fields such as humanities.
