<p>I have always desired to attend medical school, and I am getting to a point where I have to consider my undergraduate major. I was wondering if certain majors can harm me, or be more helpful than others? I was considering a major in biomedical engineering, but will that major hurt me when applying to medical school? And has any of you all majored in biomedical engineering for your undergraduate then go to med school?</p>
<p>do a little searching, this has been discussed ad nauseum</p>

<p>major choice will not harm you. my doctor majored in russian literature and went to med school right after he his undergrad. however, majoring in something like molecular biology–if available at your school–will be beneficial. you’ll have a solid scientific foundation for when you enter med school. also, med schools like to see students involved in research, and what better way to show interest in medicine than a little undergraduate cancer research? or something of the sort. you get the point. in short, pursue what interests you and study hard. hope that helps! best of luck.</p>
<p>I majored in French and became a Cardiologist. Truth be told, I hated science unless it related to the heart. Study what you want. BME majors tend to have the highest MCAT scores.</p>
