So I have a friend that is just driving me crazy these days. She was a bio major in undergrad and loves (and apparently is super good at) biology, but is not enjoying physics or chemistry that she is currently studying in her post-bac program, and she is constantly complaining about how it's so crazy that she has to take these classes when they have nothing to do with what she is actually going to need to know to become a great doctor. She thinks that she will enjoy med school so much more because med school will just be biology, and she thinks it's unfair that she needs to do well in physics and chem when they are so irrelevant.
Do you think Med school is really just about bio? Personally, I don't. I think all sciences are relevant to medicine, and I think it makes sense that med schools want to see that you were able to strive in all kinds of sciences. Sure, bio is probably the most relevant to medicine, but I still can't imagine that med school studies is going to be just about bio. And if so, I don't see why med schools want students who have studied all kinds of things in undergrad. Then again, I haven't started med school yet, so I just wanted to see what everybody else thinks.
