<p>^ well, the majority of pre-med students don’t actually get into med school (which is why pre-med is a stupid term to begin with; it means someone planning to send out an application) which is why they tell students to study what they like. Lots of people drop out of engineering as well; for all we know the OP might end up studying Econ and head off to Law school in a few years…the kid’s in HS</p>
<p>Judging “harder” majors differently would be nice, but I don’t think it’s true. On the CC med board, there are several med students and someone who works in med school admissions, who made it pretty clear to study what you like and be good at it, because major makes little to no difference. My advisors in college have pretty much told me the same thing. Plus most majors don’t fall into “easy” or “hard”; what about chemistry or anthropology or whatever?</p>
