Hello all, first post here!
I am wondering how med schools view double majors, compared to a major + minor. Do they prefer a second major since it has more coursework? Or do they not care? Do they view two majors as more rigorous than a major + minor?
I am currently a Nutrition (BS) and Linguistics (BA) with a minor in chemistry. I liked my linguistics major because it gave me a well-rounded social science background. But now I am considering swapping my linguistics major for a biology minor, because I'm not too interested in the remainder of the linguistics classes, and I feel that taking more biology classes will better prepare me for the MCAT and give me more opportunity to find LOR's from science profs.
Thoughts?
