Pfft, Biology and Psychology were pretty much the most common majors for pre-meds in the colleges I went to, so I wanted to stand out more.
I chose Anthropology! Any other anthro majors out there?!
my school recently gave the anthro department the heeve-ho. They replaced it with Criminal Theoery and Social Justice.
What the heck?! Funding issues?
Makes no sense to me.
Hey, guys,
I'm curious - who out there got into med school with a non-science major? What was it?
I got into a bunch with a Studio Art degree and a thesis on the rhetoric of human rights violations. Kind of random, I know. I'd like to know who else has had success with the non-typical majors.

Semicolon, which subfield of anthro are you most interested in? I am definitely cultural -- archaeological and biological bored the heck out of me, and I thought linguistic was extremely difficult. Plus I love field-work and medical anthropology is considered a "subfield" of cultural -- have you ever read Anne Fadiman's The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down? Great interview convo too
BA in Television and Film here.
I majored in psychology. In hindsight, I would have done exercise physiology or something like that. True it doesn't really matter and true you should do something you enjoy. But for at least these couple of quarters I find the bio and physio majors are seeing this stuff for the second time while I am seeing it for the first. I hear this advantage dissipates rapidly, but I enjoy physiology so it would have been a good idea for me.

I didn't know you could get into med school with that major, but I guess it really doesn't matter as long as you have the core pre-requisists and do well in them.
I have a degree in Management in Leadership from a business school. I studied business to give me experience in case I wind up running my own private practice.
That is probably the more useful degree. My degree, while it sounds very tech oriented, involves mostly business and project management stuff. It never ceases to amaze me how many people are completely ignorant of all the basic management techniques and what it takes to efficiently run a business.

I beat you all. . . B.A. Religion, with a focus on Buddhism and a sub-focus on folk religions.
I also have a classmate who majored in Chinese. Totally awesome.
Haha...wow. I think you win.
Although, you might have one of the most helpful majors, short of a second language major.
Yeah, I'm afraid I might fit into that category. I was planning on doing some casual reading about basic management but I haven't found a decent book yet. Any suggestions?
Not in (yet!!), but I got excited when I saw "non-science majors"!!
Theology major, emphasis on liberation theology and feminist theology, but I did my senior thesis on a 12th century Buddhist monk. So a little bit of everything!
Yeah for non-science majors!!
