Being a Premed, requirements? Options

[Laughsalot]

The typical courses that must be taken to meet the pre-medical requirement are:

* General Chemistry 1 & 2 (with laboratories)
* General Biology 1 & 2 (with laboratories) (some schools allow zoology in place of second semester)
* Organic Chemistry 1 & 2 (with laboratories) (some schools allow biochemistry in place of second semester)
* General Physics 1 & 2 (with laboratories)
* One or two semesters of math, at least pre-calculus (algebra and trigonometry). Of course calculus 1 and either calculus 2 or a statistics course are preferential.
* English and Writing

Pre-medical students may be advised or required to take upper level biology and chemistry electives, such as cellular biology, physical chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, etc. Specific requirements for these courses vary by institution.

Schools may also have requirements for non-science classes. Some schools require a certain number of general humanities credits, while others have specific requirements for courses in English, Psychology, or other disciplines.

^Are these the requirements to be a Premed? Is anyone here a Premed? How much work does it take to become one and what is the best year to be one(age). And what are the best doctor categories? Like what's the most stable, lots of money type of doctor to be? I really like these types right now:
Psychiatrist
Anesthesiologist
Physician

Tell me what you think?

Well, it all depends on what your college is like. Some colleges want to make sure their students have a safe future so they don't have a Premed Major. Instead, they have "programs" or majors that fulfill premed requirements. Others do have a PreMed major so that if you complete it, you get Premed Degree.

You don't need a Premed major to get into medical school but you do need certain requirements to get into med school. There are people out there who major in History but also take the required classes (Bio, Chem, Orgo) to get into medical school.

Premed comes in too forms:

1) As a major (you get a degree for Premedicine)
or
2) As a curriculum plan to supplement with other classes you want (you simply just take the required classes needed to go to med school)

Most schools let you Double Major, which means you can have two majors.

You're only a freshman in high school. You have plenty of time. Some people, like my aunt whose a nephrologist, don't decide to be a doctor till they are in undergrad college.
