Frequently Asked Questions

Medical School

Q: Do I have to be a Biology concentrator to get into medical school?

A: No. It does not matter where you decide to concentrate as long as you fulfill the pre-med requirements: one year of introductory biology with laboratory, one year of math, two years of chemistry, and one year of physics. The pre-med advisor in your house should be able to answer specific med school questions you have. The Office of Carreer Services also has much information online at http://www.ocs.fas.harvard.edu/resources/health.
