I have heard from a lot of medical schools that they prefer students from varied backgrounds and perspectives- aka non-science majors. Does this put typical biology/chemistry majors at a disadvantage due to their lack of a unique perspective?

No major is at any disadvantage as far as admissions are concerned. The majority of matriculants are biology and chemistry majors, simply because those are popular among pre-meds. Your major won't make you unique.

Do what interests you that you can do well in, not what you think we are looking for.

Science major =/= lack of a varied perspective. It's more to do with the student as a whole. There are students who absolutely adore science and will express themselves with it to the fullest, and that I think would be unique in itself.
