TOP Pre-Med Majors (Spoiler: Biology is the Worst)

Lets talk about top pre-med majors you probably haven't heard of before and why traditional pre-med majors, like Biology and Neuroscience ARE NOT the best Pre-Med majors. If you learned something be sure to hit that notification bell!!

Every year students around the world face a dilemma, what should i major in to become a doctor? Most settle for a traditional hard science majors, like Biology or Neuroscience, but according to med school data these majors are the least likely to get you into med school. They are over saturated and don't help you stand out making these the worst majors to be a doctor.

TOP pre-med majors should allow you to get a job EVEN WITHOUT a grad degree, while still keeping the doors open for med school. You need to have a backup, as 50% of pre med majors don't get into med school their first try. The BEST Pre-Med Majors should fulfill all med school pre-reqs, be easy to keep up a high GPA, and be something you enjoy.

So, What Major Is Best For Pre-Med?
The #1 pre med major on my list is Health Information Management. This major teaches you EVERYTHING about how healthcare works in America, plus many pre requisites for med school are required as part of the course work. That's why Health Information Management is one of The BEST Pre-Med Majors.

Another one of the TOP pre-med majors is Healthcare Administration, which will teach you all about the business and operational side of healthcare. You can add med school pre requisites, making Healthcare Administration one of the best majors for med school.

As I mention in the video you can major in anything you want for med school as long as it fulfills the requirements mentioned, it should also have a high ROI. Business majors with med school pre reqs have just as good a shot at acceptance to Med School as traditional med school majors.

I hope this video helped answer the burning question "what should i major in to be a doctor?"

You probably just saved my whole future in college wow I really appreciate people like you that have gone thru this and show us people barley starting how to do it right! Thank you sm man, have a great day

100% disagree. I’m in my second year of medical school and was a biochemistry major. If I could go back, I would have majored in biology to be exposed to microbiology, virology, cancer biology, etc. If you are serious about medical school, a biology major will be most beneficial to you once you are actually in.

this rlly helps when younger to help prevent the “mistakes” thank you

Hi! Im a bio major and I’d say the soul reason why most premeds are bio majors is because the major itself has all the prerequisites you need when it comes time when applying for medical or PA schools. Most or all medical and PA schools require a good amount of prerequisite courses in order to apply. The bio majors already covers all if not most of them.

1) Health Information Management
2) Healthcare Administration
3) Anything as long as you take the Pre Med classes

I am a neuroscience major because I love the brain and I want to say, if you are serious about medicine, then this information should not faze you at all. You can major in a hard science and still be successful. This information is best for people who do not really highly enjoy hard sciences to not force yourself into a major you don’t like. But there is no “perfect” pre-med major, it is all subjective, so don’t change a major you like because you are looking for that “perfect” major. Pick a major you like and work hard, no matter if it’s a hard science or an art. Hard sciences will make pre-reqs easier but arts can help with critical thinking and make school more enjoyable if your passion.

I chose nursing as my pre-med course, it's a very demanding course but it's very fulfilling when you see your clients smile and thank you for the care you've given them. I want to bring the aspect of caring and curing together, to be compassionate and understanding as a future healthcare provider. I am excited to experience medicine as it is.

Honestly, the hours of studying is not something that should be bothersome. In medschool you’re gonna be studying a lot more so, might as well start working with your study discipline during your major

[helenabell]

I majored in Geography go to learn about so many cool places and got to learn about so many new tech. Took my pre reqs hard a stellar science GPA. Got into med school no regrets.

[andrewo.]

I am a bio major. It has all of the pre-requisites. I am in my first summer semester and we, fortunately, have an option to focus on health professions which gets rid of a lot of pointless bio classes we don't need.

I am glad that I found you on tiktok and changed my mindset of choosing a career. Your videos are really helpful for me who has always been confused on choosing a career.

[lorenatoledo]

I mean Biology is a major that can get you to medical school as well as other careers. If you like Biology go for it! Of course there’s a lot of majors out there you can major in. It’s up to you! While I was in high school I knew that a lot of pre meds major in Bio to go to Medical School, but I chose Biology because I like it and I don’t see myself doing something else than a Science major and more if it’s Biology ❤️

This channels videos helped me so much with college!! I switched from Criminal Justice to Healthcare Administration and I’m so excited to start! This channel made me realize that there’s better opportunities else where!

[arianacareymariahgrande]

More premed choose biology hence more of rejected hence why biology is lower in acceptance rate. It’s not about the major at all. If the goal is medical school then u should find out which schools ur interested in and then do what those schools want and then do what YOU want. If u wanna be a doctor and love music major in music.

[nikkismiley]

Ive been wanting to be a dermatologist for a very long time, since highschool, and im going into my 3rd year in university and actually fell in love with Microbio (such as being a lab technician). So i changed the bio major into Microbiology (I actually already took my pre-reqs for med schools, so I was debating alot). I think finding something your passionate about will be good as well.

[arianacareymariahgrande]

Medical schools don’t care what you major in. They do can about a couple classes u take so they give u prerequisites but outside of that u do what you want. There is a misconception about what u need to major in. Medical schools want you to do what you want not what you think they want and if u do that they can tell. Now a biology major or biochemistry major seems the smartest cuz those classes would better prepare for the MCAT and the work in Med school but u DONT have to.

[nissimbaraness]

I would say it’s a give or take situation. While biology majors cover most (if not all) the recommended prerequisites, they do not stand out and the degree by itself has little to no value. Other practical majors however, such as public health or nursing, do not cover all the recommended prerequisites, but they do offer earlier exposure to the healthcare system and have more value than other STEM majors by themselves.

[diyasinghall]

I’m only a freshman in highschool lol but hopefully I can get into one of these majors wish me luck :)

[MiaLeal]

This helps so much! You have no idea! I’ve been looking into this all day and you just randomly came up on tiktok! I’ve been scared to major in biology because I know I won’t be able to find a job if I decide not to continue on.

[katherinelayne]

I love Biology, which is why I have a degree in it, but, if I had to do over, I would get my degree in HIM. Like he says, Biology doesn't have a really high ROI. I got burned out and couldn't fathom why I should go to grad school. I'm now taking courses that will gear me toward HIM as I am working as a hostess at a restaurant. Do your research, kids! People warned me, but I really wanted a Biology degree and I thought I would be the exemption to the rule.
