I am one of those non-trads in a post bac program who has a bachelors degree in English Teaching, of all things. I have heard myths and legends here and there that having a liberal arts degree such as this helps you stand out from the pack of micro majors, etc. and that some med schools like this. However, I would also imagine this puts me at a slight DISADVANTAGE, as I will not take the upper level genetics, micros, etc., and will stick to my pre-reqs, and of course, my prior BA in English.
As a freshman in college, my English teacher (who, for whatever reason, double majored in biology) suggested I declare "premed" while also getting an English degree. This sounded insane at the time, but it is, essentially, a few years later, what I'm doing.
Any thoughts?
