It's uncommon, but you actually can. I've looked at some programs that said medical schools would indeed accept an applicant with an english or liberal arts degree, but the requirement(s) were either double-majoring in something relevant for Pre-med, a minor in a relevant department, or something like 40 credits.

I did not post idly. I am around a lot of people preparing to go into nursing or to become doctors. But if that really is the case about the degree, then I could possibly get into a medical school, not that I want to. I hear the test to get in is hard.

It is hard. Most people pick degrees considered more appropriate for pre-med simply because they cover material that's on the test in-depth. Even though medical school is going to pretty much assume you know all that stuff anyways.
