<p>Hey, I no there is no pre-med program at Rutgers but I was wondering, do you have to major in a science to become a doctor or could you major in something else and still take the classes needed to become a doctor?</p>
<p>You don’t have to be a science major.</p>
<p>Ok thanks, I just wanted to make sure. Also, if I wanted to be a doctor, would my academic advisor tell me the classes I need to take (given I am not a science major)?</p>
<p>Yes. You have to, however, let your academic advisor know early so that he/she knows what direction you should take.</p>
<p>Ok, when does the academic advising begin for incoming freshmen?</p>
<p>Speaking from experience, I know medical schools love to see any major, but Biology and premed. Make sure you take the required courses ( Biology, Cal, Chem, Physics) to be prepared to take the MCAT and it is also required by medical schools. SO you can have any major you want as long as you fulfill the required courses.</p>
<p>Check the medical school forum for any info you need. Past and current applicants post their stats.</p>
