Funny enough, I didn't choose my major because I thought it would prepare me for the MCAT; however, despite not really being a tested subject on the MCAT, the skills I learned in my major courses helped me immensely on the MCAT.
If there was a major for military history and tactics that would be cool too.

I just went with my own curiosity!

Neuroscience with Spanish minor! I wanted to do something more interesting to me than just a biology degree (not that there is anything wrong with a bio degree). I was planning on doing Biochemistry, but found the Neuroscience major at my school and instantly felt drawn to do it. I never changed majors after that or wished I had done something different. Definitely major in something you are passionate about and the grades will come.
Applied Physics (Life Science Track)
I planned on being a physics major because I enjoyed the subject. I selected track because it included all of the standard pre-med prereqs and many of the common 'strongly recommended' courses as required-required-for majors class. Plus, free minor in chem or math. My advisor later me they created the track to attract pre-med students to the physics dept.
How many semesters of calculus based physics did the Life Sciences Track in Physics at your school require?
