<p>Hi I started my undergrad college this year with a major in bio with the hopes of going to med school and becoming a Surgeon. My problem is, yes I do like bio but it's not what I want to pursue anymore. I have a strong passion for mathematics and want to change my major to that and minor in psychology.
My question is: Will it be more difficult to get into med school with a mathematics major? If so, should I just continue with my bio major even though I'm not too fond for it anymore?</p>
<p>Your major makes no difference for med schools admissions as long as you complete the required pre-requisite courses.</p>
<p>A math major won’t pose any obstacle to med school admission. (Both of my daughters were math majors and both are now med students.)</p>
<p>As the poster above said–just make sure to do well in your pre-reqs.</p>

<p>absolutely not. Med schools won’t care at all what your major is. We’re not even sure if Adcoms even pay much attention to what a student’s major is. It’s not something that is a consideration.</p>
<p>My son was a ChemE major and he’s a second year med student.</p>
<p>I think you should pay less attention to “major makes no difference for med schools admissions” part, and pay more attention to “as long as you complete the required pre-requisite courses.” Applicants from 2015 and beyond taking MCAT have to take more courses for pre-requisite, one needs to evaluate that after finishing so many courses, would you feel comfortable completing another major’s graduation requirements in four years? </p>
