Question: To become a surgeon, what do i have to mayjor and minor in at college? i need answers fast! please!!!? 

Answer: Hello.\n\nI am currently in medical school, so my answer is probably the best...  ;)\n\nHonestly, 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:\n\n* 1 year in general biology\n* 1 year of general chemistry\n* 1 year of organic chemistry\n* 1 year of physics\n\nSome require this too in addition to what I just listed:\n\n* 1 semester of college level math (calc, trig, etc)\n* 1 semester of Biochemistry\n* 1 semester of Statistics\n\nHonestly, 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.\n\nI 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.\n\nMost folks get some kind of biology related degree.  Its not really necessary.  I know a few people who did economics, finance, music, etc...\n\nTalk to you advisor at your college.\n\nRegards,\nRyan
