Some students have reported that a science-focused major has helped them build a strong foundation for the MCAT and later succeed in medical school. However, regardless of the major you decide to choose, you’ll have to satisfy all the required coursework, which will give you the science foundation you need.
If you feel strongly about the fact that a science major will help you set the groundwork for medical school, go for it. Some students also consider a double major in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and humanity, such as a world language.
While a double major doesn’t give you an admission advantage, it’ll help you acquire competitive interdisciplinary skills.
