<p>I am well aware of Pre-Med requirements and how everyone always says that your major does not make a difference in Pre-Med as far as upper divs. </p>
<p>The thing is however, I have only met people at Berkeley who've gotten into Medical school with MCB and IB. I haven't met anyone whose gone to med school with things like nutri sci, molecular toxicology, english, etc. </p>
<p>Is there a site that shows Berkeley students getting into Med School along with there major. In the long run with the assumption that all factors are the same (3.7+GPA, MCAT, essays, activities,etc), do adcoms look up more to the MCB/IB kid that applies versus the Nutrisci/toxicology/english student. </p>
<p>Thanks for any clarification.</p>
<p>most premed students pick mcb or ib majors. partly this is because the pre-med course sequence is almost identical to the pre-reqs for those majors, while taking a very different major like english would require taking both sets of courses. partly it is because it fits the subject area interests of many aspiring physicians and it is frankly the obvious choice.</p>
<p>At Harvard Medical School, only 68% of accepted students majored in a science for their undergrad degree. </p>
<p>Here is a study that was done of all applicants to all US medical schools in 2000, by major, showing how many applicants held each major and how many accepted students held each degree.

<p>Proves the point that a bio degree is not correlated with acceptance by a medical school.</p>
