Lol, pun. I am currently a cell and molecular biology major. My school offers a biomedical science major as well. In my current major, I am required to take biotechnology, nucleic acids lab, bioinformatics, and genomics, and courses along those lines as well as the biomedical sciences courses that I'll need to apply for med school (anatomy, phys, biochem, etc.) I feel like my current major makes me stand out a little more from the other applicants from my school, most of which are BMS majors and it'll definitely aid me more in the research side of things, however I am uneasy about it. Do you think it'll look good to admissions committees/be worth the extra classes I'll need to take as compared to traditional BMS applicants?

Highest GPA for relevant course work. Nobody cares about your major, your minor. Seriously.
We don't care about majors or minors, but only that you do well. Major in whatever interests you.Lol, pun. I am currently a cell and molecular biology major.

I am interested in both majors, just don’t have the time to double major! Coursework for both majors interest me, I was just curious if either would be more beneficial for apps 🙂Im gunna go with a hard NEITHER! If you love the major you likely wouldnt be asking. Major in what you enjoy and you will be happy and do better.
