Non-science majors !

[Ypo.]

i have great respect for people of both backgrounds, but i just wish they were treated equally in the medical school application process.

I think they are. A 4.0 music major who also manages to get 3.7 science GPA is going to stand out more than a 3.4 software engineer. And Adcoms are impressed by musical backgrounds, as they should be.

Music does more for developing the brain (as well as keeping you centered and staying versed in producing art and beauty) than this guy understands.
My whole family are musicians-and part of the reason they are so smart and successful in what they have pursued (everything from Medical School-MD to Neuroscience to Computer Software Engineer to a Masters degree at JULIARD) is because of the positive effects that music has had on their intellectual progress and self discipline.
I'm willing to make a bet that more musicians are capable of doing software engineering-than are software engineers capable of being good musicians.
If this guy was really serious about music he would know this.

I agree with this. I would also like to add that musicians practice skills that will make them better surgeons as well (manual dexterity, creativity).

Btw, sp. = Juilliard
