i completely agree with 'pinkmarie.' i did a bio major, chem minor too. those are about the standard requirements too. there were a couple recommended (but not required) courses too. i remember that statistics was recommended and i believe at least 1 psych course. you can definitely get in with a bio degree, so long as you understand that there more important things than your degree field. med schools have been known to accept applicants with all degrees, so long as a person show Diligence and Proficiency in what they do. you'll be best off picking something that you are happy with and find enjoyable, that challenges you. It is also VERY important to your application that you are Well-Rounded and demonstrate Leadership. Join a group/club or two that really peaks your interest as soon as you start at Seton Hall, really show dedication to them (not just show up to meetings), and try to spend a couple semesters serving on their board of execs. on more of a side note, as far as the bio degree just be really sure you know that you really want to be a doctor, because if you change your mind later, like i did, and opt not to finish an M.D. degree, a B.S. Bio doesn't afford you a lot of options by itself. jobs in the biology field are limited and you will inevitably need a higher level bio degree. not wanting to do that either, i am currently deciding between persuing a M.Genetic Counseling (in the social work field, not bio) or trying to earn a second bachelors in Nursing. if you think you might be unsure about bio, one alternative would be a nursing degree. med schools will still consider your application just as strongly, you'll have more fall back options because of the high demand for nurses, and if you go to med school you could consider working part time nursing to support yourself.
