Ok, first let me start off by acknowledging the fact that this question is asked 10000000000 times a day. I know that it generally doesn't matter what you major in. However, I'm worried that this major I am interested in is a bit of a "joke" and will be seen as so by medical schools. My school has a Media and Cinema studies major in the school of communications. For me, it has a lot of benefits: it sounds really interesting and fun, the school of communications has a much better location than the rest of the school, and it is one of the few majors outside of the sciences where I would be able to complete the prereqs for medical school, study abroad, minor in another topic of interest (french), and finish all of the degree requirements to graduate almost on time.
Basically, my one concern is that this major will be considered a joke by medical schools. How far does the saying, "major in whatever you like" really go for medical school? Does a line need to be drawn somewhere?
Thanks for your advice.
