This has just crossed my mind a few times and I thought it was worth it to start a thread on it.
How much does the major you pick affect your chances at getting accepted to medical school.
Lets just say this person spends 5 years in UG.
Person majors in:
Special Education
Neuroscience
Spanish (or some other foreign language).
Yes I want three degrees haha. Lets not talk about that.
The title I guess should be how much does a major in Spanish (or another foreign language) help you in admissions? Do adcoms really like it when someone is fluent in another language? I talked to my Spanish teacher at my school and she told me that no matter what career I choose, a major in another language will always be a huge plus. I guess I agree with her, again, I'm just wondering how true this is in med school admissions.
