...social science undergrad degree? I really want to enter a physician assistant grad program after I graduate. I've read on all the admission requirements that you don't need to major in something science or health related to be accepted and that people of all different majors are looked upon equally, but I'm still a bit nervous. Right now I'm a sociology major doing a pre-pa studies track. By the time I graduate I'll have all the requirements (2 semesters of chem, 2 of anatomy & physiology, 1 psyc, 1 med terminology, 1 statistics, 1 microbio, and 1 genetics, labs with those that apply) and also a few health/science elective courses (neuroscience, bio, intro to allied health professions, medical sociology, perspectives in health care, and materials chem) along with all the required courses for the sociology major. There's a few research/scientific courses involved in the sociology major also.
Would I still stand as good a chance as someone with an allied health or science undergrad degree if I have a social science undergrad degree but still meet all the requirements plus all the other health/science electives I listed?
I'll also have taken 4 semesters of spanish, so I'm sure knowing spanish well enough to at least be able to understand what foreign patients are trying to say will look good also.
I know the GPA and recommendations are important, but do I still stand a chance with the sociology degree?
