Do Medical Schools consider difficulty of a hard major? compare these applicants

<p>

Right now, I need to declare a major soon, and I am having trouble deciding between a what is known as a “fluff” major or “rough” major, for being a pre-med. I know there is not one best major, but I wanted to see, between these two theoretical applicants, which one you think would be more likely be accepted to a US Medical school:</p>

<p>Applicant One:
Major: Chemical Engineering
GPA: 3.4
MCAT score: 40

<p>Some schools have floors under which they will not interview. If that floor is a 3.5 for an unhooked applicant, this ChemE has zero chance at such a grad school since the computer will auto-reject him/her.</p>
