So all being ‘premed’ entails is
- Taking the requirements (bio, chem, orgs, biochemistry, physics, math, others)
- Taking the MCAT
- Applying to med school
Anyone can be premed regardless of age. There are literally grown adults who have decided ‘I want to be a doctor,’ took the classes and applied. It is never too late.
Your DS could have a job related to political science while taking the premed classes on the side, then apply! There are even special ‘post bacc’ programs that are designed for non-science majors to complete the premed requirements.
