<p>I am not sure if that is correct. Several years ago, I advised a high school student to go through the nursing route before medical school. She enrolled in a college nursing program, worked in the ICU during college, enrolled into medical school and is now a surgery resident. She sailed through without any problem. Remember, your major doesn’t matter for medical school. You have to complete the pre-med prerequisites, achieve a high GPA, and score well on the MCATs.</p>
