<p>People may get tired of me writing this, and I no longer remember where this statistic came from or when, but I read in the fairly recent past that of all the categories of students applying to med school, music majors had the highest acceptance rate, at 66%. Perhaps it is something about the discipline.</p>
<p>I also read, even more recently, that many med schools actually prefer non-science majors.</p>
<p>Others will come along to give you information, but I think some finish their BM or BA without being premed, and then take the prerequite courses in the year(s) between undergrad and med school.</p>
<p>One of the best primary care docs in the city near us, got a BA in English. She runs literature courses for her fellow doctors, in the hospital. We know a lot of doctor-musicians, who play in our local orchestra.</p>
<p>I think it is wonderful that you have realized that you are passionate about music and do not yet want to give it up. If you are also passionate about medicine, you can go the way I described above, or you can enroll in college, study biology, and do music as a minor, double major or extracurricular.</p>
<p>Maybe check out schools like Oberlin and Bard, that offer (or in the case of Bard require) double degrees between the conservatory and college. Peabody and Johns Hopkins may even have something like this: check it out.</p>
<p>Stay open to what life brings and good luck!</p>
