Yeah I'd imagine most schools don't have a premed major. At most a minor, and my undergrad didn't even have that, it was just an emphasis area. Majoring in biology or biochem is what at least the plurality of applicants do, in part because (duh) they're interested in biology and in part because this major will cover all the prereqs without having to take them as "extra" courses. Plus it prepares you well for the MCAT. But any major is fine, and something like anthropology or art history may well help you stand out provided you do well in the prereq courses (they are of a fairly standard, known quality to the gatekeepers who may or may not know how easy/hard say anthropology courses are). Off the top of my head I can think of five engineers (two chemical, one mechanical, one civil, one biological), a lawyer, a pharmacist, a West Point grad, a PA, and more than a few humanities majors in my class of second year med students. Do what makes you happy and have a back-up plan. Like Robizzle said, a whole herd of premeds decide to do something else along the way, and in any given year a fairly large percentage of applicants don't get accepted anywhere.
