<p>People said that you can major on anything and you can still go to medical school, but you have to take all the required classes in college. Then take MCAT.</p>
<p>I wonder for people who major on business, or language, or arts (but still take science class), Do they have disadvantages once they apply to med-schools? Do med-schools prefer students with science majors? </p>
<p>And will they perform less well on MCAT than those whose majors are bio/chem?</p>
<p>In response to the main question, not really, you just have to make sure that you finish, and do well on, your pre-med courses.
If you’re good at the topics on the MCAT, and you study for it, then you have just as good of a chance to perform well on it. The MCAT is based on what you learn in your pre-med courses, along with some critical thinking skills, etc.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>You shouldn’t read more into what medical schools have to say. They don’t gain anything by saying something they don’t mean to. So, undergrad major doesn’t matter to them because they say so. Obviously, MCAT is the equalizer. Who says an English major with 36 is less sciency/capable than a Bio major with 28 MCAT?</p>
