Question
Hi! I'm a Pakistani 18 year old. I've done O and A levels. Now i want to become a doctor in Canada/US. I understand that you need to take a min. of three years of undergraduate school before applying to a med school. But i am confused as to what major i should choose in the undergraduate school. can u help me with that?

Also...when i complete the undergraduate studies...will i be able to study in the US as a transfer student..as in just after taking the MCAT?

I am interested in pursuing surgery and becoming a cardiac surgeon in the long run.I shall be highly obliged if you could help me.
Thanks!
