Hey everyone,

I'm a biology major with a chem minor. Since I like human ecology I am working on an 18 hour undergrad concentration in environmental sustainibility. Would this look good to medical schools, perhaps to show that I did bio because I at least liked some part of it? Thanks ahead for replying.


P.s. There is an undergrad practicum where I design and implement a program for sustainability. I was thinking maybe something with obeisity?

Medical schools don't care about your major. You could be aerospace engineering or a cheese appreciation major and it wouldn't matter.


And if they would favor a major, adcoms would probably favor the cheese appreciation major. True story.

The acceptance rate for non-bio majors is actually higher than bio majors.

Moral of the story: major is what you're passionate about, get good grades because you're interested, get your pre-reqs in, and perhaps take a couple upper level courses like biochem/genetics/cell biology.

Oh, that's old news! Showing an interest in an area with practical application to the real world may be a good thing to try, is what I'm thinking. Plus, I like it

Yeah, don't bother challenging yourself or majoring in something you are actually interested in because adcoms don't care. That's the way the game is played.
