Question Dear Dr.Richardson i am currently a senior student at Rafic Hariri High School in Lebanon and i am planning to apply to AUB actually i want to do medicine.This summer i had the chance to be a science research student (RSI:Research Science Institute)) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and i really enjoyed it. while i was there i also got the opportunity to visit Harvard and i was really impressed so to cut to the case, i am planning to do my undergraduate years at AUB and then continue grad school at Harvard medical school so i need your help in choosing the field of study during premed years(Chemistry,bio,math,physics...) at AUB which can hopefully help me when applying to HARVARD. I know it's early but i need to have a clearer view for mu future plans.Thank you for your time.
Answer Dear Rawan,
AUB will tell you what premed requirements are. 3 years of chemistry and at least one of biology. Take all the math you can get, especially clculus and statistics. At least a year of physics would be nice.
Have you looked at Harvard's web site for its requirements to enter med school? http://hms.harvard.edu/hms/home.asp is the web site address.
