I was wondering how much med schools would care about me majoring in nutrition, in particular, DO med schools. Do you think they'd give a nutrition major any more weight to the application since it is in line with the DO philosophy? Or would it be the same as a bio or any other major?

My guess is that it would give you another thing to talk about in the interview. Also, DO schools count nutrition in the science GPA, so that will help you too if you are good at nutrition.
As long as you do well grade wise, major doesnt really matter.

I dont think it would give you an added benefit to your application. It will however fill in some knowledge gaps that medical school creates since there is not much nutrition covered.
I am a DO student who majored in nutrition and matched into radiology. worked out 🙂

I did not know that! My science GPA is somewhat low/ average so the nutrition classes will boost my GPA significantly. Where do you here this from?

Its on the application site. Its under "other science", which still counts at science.

Major doesn't matter.
Feel free to discuss it in your secondaries though, if you so choose.
