Premed is so broad . As long as you meet the prerequisite classes , have good grades , have a good MCAT , volunteer , have hobbies , be well rounded , have a good personality , etc . etc . Different schools also have different focuses . I would say most are Biology , HNFE , or Chemistry majors . Some people try to go all out to stand out and get an engineering degree . It really can be anything , just meet the requirements and be a good student . I went to VT for biology and I ' m now a pharmacist . One of the smartest people in my class was some type of design major . She was designing some type of exhibit on medications and voila , 2 nd career as a pharmacist . As a HS Senior , things will change . Just do well in college and build connections , it will open doors . Almost forgot to add . VT has a good reputation in this area on creating good students . Maybe 14 of my pharmacy class VCU was VT alum . My sister also VT alum just finished dental VCU and she said they like VT students as well .
