How does pre med advising work at Michigan State University?

Michigan State has dedicated pre-health advising, and that is usually the main place pre-med students go for course planning and med school application guidance. Students typically work with advisors in the university’s pre-health advising system, which helps with prerequisites, timeline planning, activities, and the application process.

For course planning, the advising focus is usually on making sure you meet medical school prerequisites in biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, math, and English, while still building a strong GPA and keeping your schedule realistic. Students can also get help mapping out when to take the MCAT, when to ask for letters of recommendation, and when to start preparing the primary and secondary applications. One useful thing to know is that pre-med at MSU is not a separate major, so you can choose almost any major as long as you complete the med school requirements.
