I don't know about other schools, but PCSOM says on their website: "The degree of difficulty of the program which the applicant studied is also considered" (http://www.pc.edu/pcsom/admissions/review.aspx).
from what i understand they will look at it, however it is usually a "3.8 in communications vs. 3.6 in chem eng" type of thing. you can get in with that degree but you probably are going to need to do a little bit of gpa repair regardless.
and that is why people say "major in something you can do well in" because it is not weighted heavily.

Sub 3.0 in anything is very difficult to overcome, unless you have a stellar MCAT and EC's to back it up.
Schools don't care what your major was in if your GPA is sub-par. Now a 3.8 GPA in chem eng might be looked at differently than a 3.8 in basketweaving, but a 2.9 in chem eng will look bad no matter what.
In short, the answer to your question is no.

100% correct. You need to play the gpa game to win.
