Dialog with My College Classmate about  Preparation for a Medical School Enrollment 

>>>Question from My Classmate
My college classmate's son is a student at the University of John Hopkin. His major is bio-physical and minor is computer science. He is going to take MCAT next January. My classmate knew my son is studying at a medical school and asked me if I can provide some information about applying for a medical school. Also she wanted to learn which tutoring class of MCAT is the best。

>>>Answer from Me
The first college my son attended is the Washington University in Saint Louis. His major is the electronic engineering (EE) and minor is Premed. Actually, it is not good idea to choose the electronic engineering as major, if he is going to enroll to a medical school after graduating. 

At the beginning of his sophomore year, I have suggested him to transfer the major to the biological science or chemistry. These two majors are very close to medical major and many courses are same as ones in the further  medicine field. But, he did not do it because he liked EE and enjoyed the tons of mathematics involved in EE. You know the medical school usually is no more related to EE and mathematics. That was a big challenge for him to jump from engineering to medicine in his further journey. 

Fortunately, his school's Premed program ranked as the second in all National Universities at that time. For the first two years, he only followed the school's Premed program and did not have attend any other tutoring class, because he had to spend more time in EE. 

My suggestion for you is it is necessary to enroll the Premed program. If your son has time, he may also attend a good tutoring class. That is very helpful to obtain higher scores in coming MCAT examination. If he does not have enough time to be class, you may buy some tutoring books and let him practice following the books. Remember it is necessary to take several self-examinations before taking the form examination.

This is about my son's experience. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to let me know. Good luck for your son's examination.
