Professional Exam Cram
How will my actual undergraduate degree affect my chances of becoming a radiologist?
I'm trying to decide whether to go for a Pre-professional biology degree with a biochemistry major, or a University Studies Bachelors degree program. It would allow me to take only the classes that I need for the MCAT exam without having to cram in so many elective classes, and therefore take less time to graduate. I hear the advantage of the University Studies major is the Research and Thesis sequence, because it demonstrates both research in a particular field, as well as Technical writing in the sciences. This could give me an edge when getting into Medical School. I could try fitting in an internship if I had time.
If the only thing that matters really is good grades and passing the MCAT, it would be best to do the one that takes less time right? But I'm not altogether sure that that's what matters.
Also any advice for preparing for the MCAT and med school or whatever that might be applicable, if you want to take the time to tell me?
Thanks!
You can major in whatever you want as long as you complete the ten science, math, and English courses required by medical schools. You need to have strong overall and science GPAs, 3.6+, and at least a 30 on the MCAT.
You also need clinical experiences - hospital or hospice volunteering, physician shadowing, something that shows that you know what it is actually like to be a doctor and to deal with sick patients. Volunteer and community service is also important. Research is really great to have on your resume as well, and is a major point toward your University Studies option.
Otherwise you should have other extracurriculars demonstrating leadership and talent. Figure out something that you are both good at and interested in and focus on that. Depth is better than breadth here.
However I should say that if you are interested in Radiology, you better be good at math and physics. You'll have to take a tough exam in those subjects during your residency. If you like and are good at them, you should think about taking extra classes in or even majoring in them during undergrad, as long as you'll be able to maintain the GPA you need.
