<p>is it true that it doesn't matter what you major in in college, and that as long as you take the required math and science sections you can get into med school even as a humanities major?</p>
<p>For practical purposes, I'd major in biology (or a related subfield), but you really can do what you like as long as you follow the premed curriculum.</p>
<p>What practical purposes might those be?</p>
<p>A biology major by itself really does not have great prospects. If you want practical purposes, an econ or business major would seem more useful (much like BDM!).</p>
<p>i think s/he probably meant 'practical purposes' in the sense that most of the premed requirements would count towards the major, as would important additional science classes like genetics and biochem, thereby giving one more free electives.</p>
<p>I think it is more or less known that any pre-professional major such as business is not looked favorably upon in med school admissions. But that is just what I've heard from a few people.</p>
<p>what about a neuroscience major?
i find it quite interesting since the major requires a mix of bio, chem, psychology, and neuroscience.</p>
<p>is it considered a biology subfield, or one of its own?</p>
<p>it's a biology subfield</p>
