Medical School: You need classes like Physics, Biology, Chemistry (Both regular and organic), Calculus, all the toughies. These classes will definitely prepare you for the MCAT s. You want to aim for an overall score of 30 on the MCAT s with at least a score of 10 in each area. Start studying for the MCAT s about a year ahead, if not earlier. Overall, 300+ hours (Although 300 should be the least amount of hours of studying.) If you would like to enroll into Medical School in later years, try majoring in biology because it will satisfy both requirements for preparation for the MCAT s and the recommendations for pre-med. Talk to your University s adviser. He or She will give you a sheet with 1) Your pre-med requirements and 2) Distribution requirements [the list of classes that EVERYONE needs to take no matter what their major might be] and 3) Your required courses to fulfill your major requirements. Also, when you start the hunt for which medical school you desire to attend, look into their specific requirements. For example, the University of Michigan (one of the top 10 Medical Schools in the nation) require a Biochemistry course; however, many universities do not have this on the premed sheet, so MAKE SURE to look at the requirements of each individual school. When you start applying for Med Schools, apply for about 20 schools. Apply for those that are out of reach dreams, for those that are in your competitiveness range, and those that are a guaranteed entrance. You want to cover every area of the nation. It would take a lot of work to fill out about 20 applications for medical schools, so go to the AMCAS website: http://www.aamc.org/students/amcas/ You fill out the form here and it is basically applying to all the schools at once. If the school is interested in you, they will send you their own application and that will include some sort of essay, usually a research essay. When planning out your undergrad career, make sure you have some sort of liberal arts/humanities background because Medical Schools are interested in those who stand out. They want a well rounded candidate who has excelled in scientific research AND has appreciated the arts by taking the courses. Also, you want to aim for A s in all of your science classes, why? The medical schools actually have two separate GPA s they go by. The first one is the generic calculated by the school and this incorporates ALL of your classes. Then, they single out your science courses and recalculate another GPA strictly based on the science classes. I would advise you to talk to your adviser or read your universities handbook and find out what the retake policy is. Don t aim for C s, aim for A s. When you are given a list of required courses, make sure you look at each individual course and figure out if you fulfill the prerequisite s. For example, you can t take Physics 105 if you haven t taken Calculus 116. Get the drift? If it weren t for those pesky prereq s then we would finish our undergrad degree much sooner!! hahah Let s see... what else, what else: okay, recommendation letters: You will need 3. They need to be from your science professors, so start the sucking-up. Yes, your professors do know you are trying to use them for their good recommendation. After all, they do have PhD s and how did they got those PhD s? They went to graduate school... and graduate school requires recommendation letters. Go to their office hours and ask them for advise, or just hang out. Trust me, they ll love it. Why? Because no one goes to see them!! I mean, they have the office hours and sit there bored. Students tend to pass their professor s hours without thinking twice: Don t be one of those students. One other thing: If your undergrad university has a premed office with its own adviser, take advantage of their services. Your premed adviser is one of the most recommended sources for a recommendation letter s. If your medical school admissions office realizes your didn t meet with your premed adviser, they will interrogate you as to why you did not use their services. Medical school is extremely competitive. You need to find a way to stand out, and taking the easy way out will NOT impress the admissions faculty of your desired medical school. You need to show them you are motivated. Aside from school work you need to look into research programs, internships, physician shadowing, hospital volunteering, etc. etc. Once you get accepted, you will go through the 4-year medical program. The first two years are the most important so make sure you work really hard because this is what determines if you will continue on with the rest of the medical school training. Once you re in your last year, start applying for your residency which is basically a paid educational training with doctors in real hospitals. You will make anywhere from $40k - $60k, but everyone is advised to accept only $40k because once you make over, the defer
All three are different fields. For doctor and Veterinarian you must have biology background. And for lawyer you need to study criminal justice and gain some paralegal degree. It will help you to become lawyer. Several top accredited universities offer on campus as well as online prgrams in veterinary sciences and paralegal studies. For your reference here I am forwarding you some website link that will help you to get information about these degrees. You can also request free information via form available on website.
