Pre-Med really only needs to mean taking the required courses for Medical School acceptance (typically 5 classes).



Five classes seems very light for pre-med requirements. That’s only about a semester. My D is interested in pre-med and the advisor at her college gave her a much longer list of recommended courses than five!

She also wants to go abroad, and was told that it’s doable as a pre-med but you have to plan ahead and plan carefully. Also, a whole year abroad can be tough to manage–a semester is easier to plan if you want to graduate in four years.
