How do I apply to Auburn as a pre-med student?

I’m a junior/senior trying to plan my college applications, and Auburn is one of the schools I’m considering for pre-med.

I know pre-med is usually more of a track than a separate major, so I’m trying to understand how the application works if I want to come in with a pre-med focus.

At Auburn, you do not apply to a separate “pre-med” major. You apply to Auburn University as an undergraduate and choose an academic major, and then you can follow the pre-health or pre-med track once you enroll. Auburn supports pre-med students through pre-health advising rather than through a standalone pre-med admissions process.

That means your application is the same as any other first-year applicant’s. You submit your Auburn application, select the major you want to study, and if you are admitted, you can work with Auburn’s pre-health advising resources to complete the courses and experiences needed for medical school. Common majors for pre-med students at Auburn include biology, chemistry, psychology, and others, but you are not limited to science majors as long as you complete the required pre-med coursework.

A practical way to approach it is to choose the major you would genuinely want even if your plans change later. Medical schools care much more about your GPA, MCAT, clinical experience, research, and completion of prerequisite classes than about whether your major is officially labeled pre-med.

If you are applying as a high school student, focus on Auburn’s normal freshman admission requirements and deadlines. Once on campus, you would connect with Auburn’s pre-health advising program early so you can map out biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, math, and other requirements in a manageable way alongside your major.
