All About My Pre-Med (BS Human Bio / BS Biology)

All about my pre-med! The pros and cons of the advanced medical program BS Human Biology in DLSU-Manila, why I eventually shifted to BS Biology (and LOVED it), and how my pre-med helped me get the grades I want in med school.

Also, ang galing mo ate Aura! For those who don't know, BS HumBio is a well respected course in DLSU. Sobrang konti ng kinukuha nila na students so sobrang exclusive siya to smart and well deserving students. Most of our scholars are in that program. So you can just imagine how smart ate Aura is!

BS Bio for the win!! Maybe BS Bio won't help in a clinical matter but BS Bio will definitely help you to become a better student and to be a prepared Med Student; and many people say that BS Bio will help you in taking the NMAT!! Plus, you'll appreciate the environment, the organisms and how they function together. 😄 BS Biology FTW!!

[@Talamasca]

BS Bio grad from DLSU here and a licensed physician as well. And I concur with Dok Aura na hindi basis ang pre-med for doing good acad-wise as a medical student. Like her, I also had better grades than a lot of my peers who took Nursing, Pharma, or even Med Tech. Heck, I even had a couple or so classmates who were Liberal Arts majors pero consistent Dean’s Lister sila during med school. I guess it all boils down talaga to the actual individual, sa kanyang angking talino at syempre kung pursigido sya. Bonus na lang yung clinical experience in your pre-med years. 😇

[@_Psyche_]

Very late comment but i'd just like to say that San Beda University also offers BS Human Biology. I am currently enrolled in that course and unlike De La Salle it is a four year course. Not only that but our department made the subjects medically inclined since most of the students enrolled in the program will take up medicine in the future. Its an okay course, will recommend it for aspiring med students! :> :> :>

went back to this video since i am confused if i should take up nursing as pre med or human bio and take up the 6 year shortcut to med. i really want nursing because i wanted to experience patient care and community helping, and stuff. but the 8 years before becoming MD is just too long, i am the oldest child so i am expected to bring money for my fam but i am still studying on that time being. idk what to choose T___T i'm still grade 11 though, i still have a long way to go! i hope i can decide soon though T__T
