<p>so i applied to a couple of those "BS/MD" programs, but if i end up going through the regular 4 year premed track, i am considering majoring in philosophy. would that hurt my chances of admission to med school?</p>
<p>It'd help, in fact philosophy ranks in the top three for highest % of students in that particular major that get into med school. Also, philosophy'll give you a nice break from the sciences.</p>
<p>A highly conventional type of question that's been answered many times. Please read the part of the FAQs about selecting a major. <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pre-med-topics/377780-premed-forum-faqs-read-first.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pre-med-topics/377780-premed-forum-faqs-read-first.html</a></p>
<p>jeez, sorry for taking up soooo much space on the board... god knows we're running out of it.</p>
<p>The more people who read the FAQs, the better. Hope it helped you. If not, then keep asking.</p>
