No, idea. If it's anything like MD/DO, 2 semesters of biology, 2 semesters of physics, 2 semesters of chemistry, 2 semesters of organic chemistry, 2 semesters of english, with a sprinkling of one semester of math, and one semester some kind of social science.
You need 2 semesters of physics, english, and chemistry for pretty much any science or engineering major, and at least one semester of math too. So, I'd start on those if you still haven't decided what you want to do.
some PA programs also require A&P, while med schools do not. that's really the only difference i've noticed...
I would study something that I could see myself doing in the case of not being able to be accepted to either type of school.
Not to be a wet blanket about this but most freshmen premeds don't make it to the finish line. Always have a backup plan.
But i was thinking maybe if i dont get into med school, should i apply for PA?
how is PA prerequisite different than premed?
I really want to be a doctor and right now i m taking university requirement classes and pre requisite classes for pre-med. But i was thinking maybe if i dont get into med school, should i apply for PA?
Doesn't sound like you REALLY want to be a doctor, sorry to say but you're bound to fail with that kind of attitude. Oh well, there's always nursing school!
some also prefer microbiology...
