    Hi there, I'm a non-trad and thinking I might have to move my OChem 2 lab to the summer when I'm applying a few years from now.

    Do med schools care about a Spanish minor?

    Sorry if this question has already been asked elsewhere ( I didn't find anything when I did a search), but does having a Spanish minor have any positive effect on your application?
