Yesterday at the Pre-Med society at my school, we had a guest speaker, who happend to be a urologist. He brought up many interesting points about being a doctor. One in particular deals with college. According to him, it is more important to take classes like history, philosophy, psychology and english so you can be well rounded, understand people and communicate better. Of course he said to take science classes so you can get a good score on the MCAT, but he said Med schools don't care whether you take molecular biology or not. He also said med schools like to see you do things you are passionate about, instead of doing things that would just look good for med school, like clinical experience or research (unless you really like it). So I'm wondering if all of this is true. Would it be more beneficial to me to major in biology and minor in something like history or philosophy, rather then just majoring in biology. Thanks a lot for your help.
