Math minor or no? I'm a biology major and have also taken an interest in mathematics.. And I'm better at it than a lot of stuff.

For med school admissions purposes, no one cares. It won't help you at all to stand out or be accepted. Do the minor if you want to, and other than that, don't worry about it because no adcom will treat your application any differently because of a minor in anything.

I did a minor, waste of time. Just take the classes you like, and don't bother with the full requirements for a minor, unless all the classes are of interest. No one cares what you minored in (think of it as a revenue generator for colleges, getting you to take more than 4 years to complete degree). I was a CS major, took a lot of math along with Chem/Biology, all the premed reqs. Did another Minor that was fun for most of the classes, but one class was a problem, and no one cared for medical school apps that I did a minor in a liberal arts subject.

Major or minor, take them because they interest YOU, not us.

But definitely don't take what will imperil your GPA.
