<p>hey guys do you think that Nutrition is a good major if i want to become a doctor while doing pre med. it is my strongest passion. (i believe that alternative medicine will be the future of medicine and diet is a huge factor when it comes to medical issues) How will med schools react? is it a good idea?</p>
<p>No, for entirely different reasons. Medical schools don’t like Specialized Health Sciences, and nutrition would be one of them.</p>
<p>As an aside, if you think alternative medicine is the future of medicine then an MD program is going to drive you batty.</p>
<p>^^^ I don’t think the op has enough knowledge of the medical field to even comment on what the “future of medicine is going to be”. No credibility on the subject.</p>
<p>Guys, just cos someone doesn’t have an MD doesn’t mean he/she has zero insight into medicine. And plus to sound credible on alternative medicine, one should have a medical degree. Otherwise one would sound like a witchdoctor.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I am resisting the temptation to comment.</p>
<p>Any liberal arts major is better for undergrad pre-med. If you like Nutrition, consider Columbia’s MPH in that subject.</p>
<p>But what do u think Medical schools will do if they see someone with a 4.0 gpa and 30+ MCAT score and majoring in nutrition</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>They will interview you if you have a 4.0 and 30+ in most cases.</p>
<p>I think you would will be fine with a nutrition major. But what do I know, I am just an MD who is a clinical prof at a med school…</p>
