Also, as an aside, pre-dental and pre-med and etc. are rarely majors unto themselves. (Sometimes there is a general Health Sciences type major that’s geared toward pre-health students.) And while a lot of students assume they should be biology majors if they’re pre-health, there is no actual need to major in biology. Any major can be combined with the pre-health prereq courses, and some majors can really enhance your background more than a bio major would. (For example, quote from Eckerd College’s pre-health advising page: " Anthropology courses give you an edge: Unlike most other liberal arts colleges, our Anthropology faculty are experts in human health, both living and past. You can study medical anthropology, skeletal biology, forensic anthropology, dental anthropology, and paleopathology — subjects that have direct relevance to pre-health students. When applying to medical or dental schools, this valuable academic experience often sets our students apart from graduates from other colleges with a strict Biology major." Public Health majors, where available, can be great too, and you’ve already shown interest in this kind of focus, with your Rotary project.
