Applying to Medical School with an International Relations Masters Degree

[Allopathic13]

Hey all,

I majored in history during my undergrad with a 3.5
I completed a Post-Bacc program to get my basic pre-reqs including calc at Harvard
AND
I will be enrolling in a Masters of Liberal Arts Program with a concentration in international studies-which I will finish during my GAP year, also at Harvard.

Will this masters degree hinder my chances for admission since it is non-science based?

No. It's an EC. GPA there would only matter if it's low (which would be bad).

When are you taking the MCAT?

Dr. Midlife,

Thank you for the response, and I again apologize for the cross-post.

I have taken the MCAT and on my second try received a 38Q.

You so totally have nothing to worry about. Where's the smiley for jealous?
