"this is really helpful. I am a junior at a Business School, majoring in Accounting. And I am presently 17 years old. I was just wondering if I have to go to medical school i will have to start college allover again. this was really helpful"
As long as you finish your degree in Business, all you have to do is make sure you've taken the required sciences classes. These classes include 1 year of Biology, 1 year of General Chemistry, 1 year of Organic Chemistry, and 1 year of Physics. Some schools also require 1 semester of math (either Calculus or Statistics) and 1 year of English.
To find out exactly what the requirements are for each school, I suggest visiting their school websites.
Also, keep in mind that a few of these classes can be taken at community college. So in that sense, you won't have to "start college all over again" -- at least not financially. "1 year of Biology" is a little misleading since bio classes go by so many different names in many different schools. To figure out which ones will satisfy the biology requirement, make sure you stop by the counselor's office and see if the school has a pre-med adviser. Ask them in person just to make sure.
Assuming you've already finished your English requirement, you will be able to finish the rest in two years. This is mostly because General Chemistry is usually a pre-requisite for Organic Chemistry. Then again, you never know. If you ask around, you may find that your school allows both to be taken at the same time.
Taking Biology, Gen Chem, O. Chem, and Physics within 1 year may be possible, but I wouldn't recommend it.

congrats....I applied to Ross but unfortunately didn't get in because of MCAT score...my GPA is good but for some reasons I cannot do well on the MCAT. I even took Kaplan classes to better my score but I ended up doing horribly even worse than the 2 first times I took it..so I gave up.....I ended up in SMU..I am not sure if it was a good choice or not knowing the fact that smu is not approved by california list.
You can't even pass the MCAT...after three attempts with additional professional instruction! Then you quit, and lack the ability to even determine if the school you did get into is accredited! Here's a hint, you were accepted so...no likely. Please, find another career path before you hurt someone. christ!
