<p>I’m just a single data point, but I picked up 3 pretty prestigious interviews (still waiting on decisions) with about the most generic of all pre-med majors: biology.</p>
<p>From my experience (me + friends this year and last), your major’s not the thing that’s going to make or break you in terms of admissions. And probably, no single thing is going to really make or break you. Like mmmcdowe mentioned, it’s all about the hats. Multiple hats. Multiple, high-quality hats that are unique in some way too. That’s how you get to the doorsteps of prestigious programs.</p>
