This maybe appropriate in some other thread but here goes anyways
Do top-tier (or any i guess) medical schools consider a student's major when looking at GPA? I posted on the what are my chances thread and it was noted that my GPA is not quite up to par with top-tier schools' expectations (i have roughly a 3.7), but I can also guarantee that if I was a bio major rather than a computer science engineering major, that my GPA would be at least a 3.8, if not a 3.9.... do schools care?
** for those curious why i am a compsci major, it is primarily for future interests. i want to get involved with information sciences in medicine, but more from the perspective of a doctor (which is why i want to go to medical school and not grad school for something else)
