Advice for Pre-Medical Students<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][vc_column_text]\n

With proper planning and high achievement, a student can gain acceptance into medical school with any Eckerd College major.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][vc_column_text]Here\u00a0are four good reasons for Eckerd pre-medical students to major in chemistry or biochemistry.<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Roughly 100% of Eckerd’s chemistry and biochemistry majors who apply to medical school are accepted.<\/li>\n
  2. Exactly 100% of the science and math courses most commonly required for medical school admission also count for the Eckerd chemistry and biochemistry degree requirements. With a chemistry or biochemistry major you’ll take courses which count for both\u00a0<\/strong>medical school and Eckerd graduation.<\/li>\n
  3. Should your interests in medicine change, you’ll have a degree with enough depth for a good job or admission to an excellent graduate program.<\/li>\n
  4. Chemistry and biochemistry majors are the only<\/strong> Eckerd students who are exempted from senior comprehensive exams, provided the chemistry seminar course is successfully completed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
