是什么 “医学预科”?

"Pre-med" is a term used to describe students who plan to enter medical school after graduating from college. You should know that there is rarely if ever a “医学预科” major at any college. When a student is “医学预科”, he or she is not only taking the classes required for admission to medical school, but also has a major in a specific subject matter area. A student can choose any major and still go to medical school so long as he or she has 1) successfully completed the courses required for admission to medical school, 2) has both a strong science and overall college GPA, and 3) has demonstrated a dedicated interest in health care delivery.
