I interviewed Daniel Luna who is in Pre-Professional Health right now as a Junior. His email address is dluna@purdue.edu. 1.

Organic Chemistry was his favorite class because he enjoyed the material and it tied in a lot with what he wants to eventually do with his job.

You also need to have a good knowledge of science and be able to think critically. 6. He is planning on attending Med school and possibly specifying in Pediatrics. Most careers that students go into could be Pediatrician, Pharmacists, other specific types of medical doctor. 7. He has been involved in many clubs and groups that involve an honor society, the pre-med club. There are also many different leadership opportunities that you can become involved in that are related to this major. 8. I asked him what would be one of the best things about his major that he would tell an undecided student like me. His response was that there is a lot of freedom within the major.
