So I was a business (marketing and operations)/chemistry major coming out of undergrad. I've worked a year and a half working at a marketing firm, and don't think it's right for me. I've always been interested in medicine, and because of my chemistry major, I completed all of the prereqs for med school. I'm definitely thinking about taking the MCAT this coming year to apply. However I've heard that medical academia and med school admissions councils are diametrically opposed to anything "business," regarding the field in general as "evil" and responsible for the corruption of modern medicine. From another friend who was a business major going directly to med school, he says he was confronted on several occasions in admissions interviews regarding his background in business. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Would my background serve as a disadvantage when compared against a candidate with similar "numbers?"
