Minor in something non-science related?

<p>Does minoring in something non-science related like a history, english, or language help at all for increasing chances of med school acceptances? I talked to an undergrad admissions officer and they said it makes you look more well rounded. </p>

<p>Does it help at all or is it just worthless?</p>

<p>No, won’t help at all. Can be fun, though, and obviously won’t hurt.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Would double majoring in two science related fields help at all? </p>

<p>Does it just not even matter what your major/minor in as long as you do pre-med?</p>

You hit the nail on the head.</p>

<p>The only exceptions are, for the most part, vocational majors (eg nursing, allied health sciences, etc).</p>

<p>To clarify on GS’s comments: those are BAD. Everything else is equally good.</p>

<p>Some top universities do not even offer “Minors”. As such, they are useless. Take the courses for the experience and for what you will learn. Whether they amount to a Minor or not is really irrelevant.</p>
