If I want into Medical school in several years would I be better off with a Biology major or one in Pre-Med. ?

Pre-med isn't a major, it is a track of courses to fulfill the med school prerequisites. you can get into med school with any major. I have classmates who did business, music, art, teaching, and of course, biology or chemistry. Do what ever interests you the most.

If you're looking for an excuse for a backup plan, there's no need. As long as you have the requisite courses, it won't matter for squat which you choose. It didn't take me many years in practice to discover that my biology and chemistry majors were distant memories, and I'd have been a lot better off with a major in history or some such. If you can give yourself a real, honest evaluation and think you belong in medical school, then you're almost certainly right, and you can study whatever you want as an undergrad.

Oh, and if you haven't yet, you really could spend some time (but not obsessively, please) on this website: http://www.aamc.org/

BS in Biology could be a Pre Med Course. Public Health is an excellent pre med course. Take the one that has a lot of medical subjects like anatomy, physiology. biochemistry and pharmacology.

I applaud your choice. Even though Medicine is not as lucrative a career as it was 15-20 years ago, it is still an honorable one. It is probably the only one that combines commitment with a sense of mission. It entails a lot of reading, sacrifice and lost sleep. But in the end, it's all worth it.

Bilogy would be the best best. You can fall back on biology if you don't get into medical school. Also with a biology degree there are several fields that you can further your education in, Pre med are just prereqs for medical school, and alot of those prereqs are also needed for a biology degree.

This is copied from TAMU's web page: The College of Medicine received 3,061 applications for 139 places in the 2008 entering class. Seven hundred and fifty-one (751) applicants were interviewed. The class is comprised of 94% Texas residents, 42% women, and 19% underrepresented minorities, (12% Hispanics and 7% African Americans). Among the students enrolled, 100% received baccalaureate degrees and 10% had graduate degrees. The choice of major varied among the students, but 82% chose majors in the sciences. Among the non-science degrees, some of the choices of major were Accounting, Anthropology, Business, Economics, English, Finance, Foreign Language, History, International Studies, and Psychology. Fifty-six (56) colleges and universities throughout the state and nation are represented among the members of the entering class. The class is distinguished by a mean college GPA of 3.66 and average total MCAT score of 30.

Probably pre-med is your best bet. I too want to go into medicine. However, you might do well with a minor in biology as well.
