<p>I'm an Econ major and pre-med, I like Econ a lot too, probably more than pre-med courses. Should I pursue economics research or scientific research? Basically, if I try and become an economist, would they still respect scientific research. Alternatively, would med schools research respect econ research?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I have spoken to adcoms about this because my research is not clinical research and for them research = research, at least for getting into medical school. Once in medical, doing research in you future specialty is really helpful when applying to residency.</p>
<p>what if we major in biology and have engineering research, but are applying to med school? is that ok?</p>
<p>Yes, have a friend doing the exact same thing. Research would be boring if you were doing it in something that you are not interested in.</p>
