Which of these majors, paired with a bio major would be the easiest to do as well as look appealing to med schools.

Picking a major solely for the sake of getting in to med school will deprive you of a potentially valuable education.

Major in what interests you.

Study what ever you find interesting. It doesn't matter for medical school.
 
I am not looking for 'do whatever is interesting'. all of the above are interesting, but some are more challenging than others.

Medical schools do not care about what major or minor. There are several threads on this website discussing this topic. I suggest you do some research before asking this question.
 
Which major is easiest is going to depend on your individual abilities and your university. I don't think anyone here can answer that for you.

Personally, English, Psych, and Humanities (not sure which specific area you're talking about here) all sound equally easy to me. But these are my personal strengths. I don't really have any sense of what Management entails.

If you're really not sure, talk to an advisor at your school or someone currently in these majors.

Well, I wouldn't recommend English as you seem to have trouble with reading comprehension.
Or Management since the ability to understand clearly expressed directions seems to be another area of weakness.

Maybe Public Health would be the most appropriate, since that's popular with government employees, and that seems to be a reasonably good fit.
 
What do you mean by humanities? Humanities is not a major, it's a group of subjects that encompasses everything from foreign language to literature to history.
 
there is a humanities actual major at my school.....

Isn't every major just a group of subjects?
 
Do the biology major only and use your spare time to get a great GPA and do cool ec's
 
They're all fine and as others have stated, your major won't affect your chances of getting accepted to med schools. The way I look at majors is that they open doors for different types of opportunities (for instance, someone with a computer science background may have a software project listed on his/her primary applications for school; someone with a journalism background may have a substantial experience writing for online blogs, written magazines, etc).

However, it's important to note that having a background in some scientific discipline makes it substantially easier to gain a scientific/clinical research position when the time comes (IF you want to do that kind of research in the first place). E.g., I know faculty that have denied students from earning research positions because they hadn't taken some classes that a science major would have taken. Just my 0.02, but keep that in mind going forward.
 
As long as your major is chem/bio and easier then you are cool to go for it. Anything that isnt STEM is in the same category of "hardness"

If I have @DokterMom pinned correctly then a Texan just recommended you for government employment so I would say your chances are slim with any major.

Snark aside, medical schools don't care what you major in.
 
Easiest? Only you can answer that.

Look appealing? Med schools do not care what your major is, only that you do well. Ditto minors.
