Especially with the New MCAT
I find it ridiculous that the AAMC is now requiring people to take
Psychology, Biochemistry, sociology, Chem (x2), Orgo (x2), Physics (x2), Bio (x2), Calc, English (x2)
That's 42 credits right there which is more than what's required for some majors
Edit I forgot about lab which would be 1 credit * 9
so 51 credits
Seriously, had I gone to a school with stringent core curriculum requirements like columbia and was taking the 2015 mcat or lacked AP Credits in the Math/English thing, It would be nearly impossible to take all of those classes while doing my undergrad major classes which is like other 40 without taking summer classes and stuff
You are basically forced to know for a fact you want to be a doctor or be prepared to be in school for a long time with bost bacs
