Medical Malpractice

Can you major in a medical science and still go to law school?

I can't decide what to major in. If I should be a doctor or lawyer. I figure if I major in a medical science, will I still be able to attend law school? If I do, how will law schools look at this on an application? Big bucks is nice. Actually I just have an interest in both. I have an interest in dermatology and contractual law.

1. Yes! a law degree is like aw MBA. It enhances any field.
2. Law schools generally prefer a liberal arts background, but if you're a good student and then do well on the LSAT, I think it would be OK. Many people don't realize that there's no such thing as "pre-law" studies. I am curious--doctor or lawyer are two very different professions. Are you just looking to make big bucks?
3. Law schools readily accept MDs into their schools, but no medical school will accept a lawyer unless the prereqs are completed and the MCAT is done. You might want to consider this: obtaining MD/JD degrees at the same time.
