If you hate the life sciences then med school will be hard because med school (obviously) is all about anatomy, system functions, immunology, biochemistry, etc. If you hate physics and general chemistry, then you are not alone (most premeds hate these courses as well).



Most pre-meds prefer life science to physical science because they are not scientists (or engineers) by nature. Plenty of engineers who go into medicine disdain the life sciences, but they generally master medical school material much more quickly than those who hate the physical sciences.



You have to do well in your chemistry and physics courses in college and on the MCATs. After that, you can forget all your physics and most of the chemistry.

If you forget all your physics and chemistry, you’ll be doomed to a career of cookbook medicine.
