Major in Kinesiology?

Is this a good idea? Since, most pre-dents major in biology. I think Kinesiology seems very exciting to me. Plus, some of the courses in Kinesiology are good for preparing for dental schools( for example: Histology, Human Anatomy, Human Physiology). Has anyone here done major in Kinesiology and if so, how do you feel about it? Do you regret it?

I've heard it's not a bad idea, though I can't speak from experience.

I've known a lot of kinesiology majors...we all took the same classes, but most of them went into sprots medicine and physical therapy. The only thing I can really say is that they seemed like a lot happier people than the bio/premed majors...and that counts for a lot in my book

I'm majoring in Kinesiology with a minor in Biology (graduate May 2007) and I was accepted to Baylor. I don't think it would hurt you to be a Kines. major. If anything, I think that it helped me as schools want their applicants to be more diversified. Besides, everyone has to have the same basic science courses to get in.

Major in something you will be happy with. It is not necessary to be a biology major to get into a professional school. Do well in all the pre-reqs, maybe take some additional biology and chemistry classes, and do whatever is needed to make yourself a solid applicant.

Some people even say that the non-bio major may be more "interesting" than the standard pre-dent/biology applicant.

If you're doing it because you'll love it and it will help offer a good science foundation, then by all means. If you're JUST doing it to be different, i don't think it's different enough from bio to make much of a difference. I think something in the humanities might do that, but not anything within the sciences. But again, that shouldn't be a factor...a major is a major decision! 🙄
