I've done a search on this topic, and a lot of posters have stated that what you major in does not matter at all in the admissions process. However, after visiting several med school websites, they all state that the rigor of your undergraduate career (which includes what courses you take) is considered in the process. Obviously, Physics/Chemistry majors have to take more difficult courses than History, Environmental Studies, or Religious Studies majors. So, if two candidates, one a Physics major and the other a Religious studies major, had the same GPA, wouldn't the Physics major have a slight advantage?
Any thoughts on this? Or does major still not matter?
thanks
