text: to become a surgeon, what do i have to mayjor and minor in at college? i need answers fast! please!!!?   hello.  i am currently in medical school, so my answer is probably the best...  ;)  honestly, you can major in anything that you want to, as long as you meet the requirements for most medical schools.  this tend to be, but not limited to:  * 1 year in general biology * 1 year of general chemistry * 1 year of organic chemistry * 1 year of physics  some require this too in addition to what i just listed:  * 1 semester of college level math (calc, trig, etc) * 1 semester of biochemistry * 1 semester of statistics  honestly, your minor doesnt really matter.  if you want to look "more well rounded" you could minor in a humanity.  do whatever you want to do.  this makes you more of a real person - which is what the med schools look for.  i majored in human nutrition and minored in religious studies.  i have a really good friend who got into med school with a creative writing major.  as long as you meet the prereqs i talked about, you can get accepted.  most folks get some kind of biology related degree.  its not really necessary.  i know a few people who did economics, finance, music, etc...  talk to you advisor at your college.  regards, ryan
