<p>I had chosen to be part of the biology (pre-med) major at my university but I got offered a spot to be a biomedical science major in my university. I wanted help with what would help me more for the MCAT. I did research and I found that the MCAT is changing and now is involving more things to study. I'm between biology and biomedical because biology focuses on the living organisms and biomedicine focuses more on the particular cells, genes, functions of the system between more. I was researching the new sections for the MCAT and I found that majoring in biomedicine would help a little more. The Biomedical department at my school is giving me a deadline of tomorrow, friday august 8, 2014, to either move or stay in my major. </p>
<p>what is your guys opinion towards what major to choose in this particular situation? </p>
<p>Thank you for helping me. </p>
<p>either major requires advance degree to be useful or to be employees in today’s environment. If you think biomedical will help you more, by all means go for it.</p>
<p>Just looking at a breakdown of the MCAT by section and a list of topics, it looks like there are a lot more questions concerning molecular and cellular components than larger-scale ones. But ultimately, whatever major will allow you to get all your premed requirements in is sufficient, so you really can’t make a wrong choice.</p>
<p>In my opinion, physics would be a great major just because so many people fear the physical science section of the MCAT. Also, a lot of people feel uncomfortable with quantitative analysis, so why not be overly prepared.</p>

-One semester of non-calc based physics is plenty fot the MCAT. One definitely does not need to major in physics just for that sake of MCAT. So, major in whatever your passion is, prepare hard for the MCAT and take it with all the confidence. I know people from Cocervatory of Music and others with Latin major,…etc. who were accepted at Med. School, apparently fullfilling the MCAT score requirement. In regard to UG academics and Med. School, no major in UG will help you with academics at Med. School. You need few facts as a background and pre-reqs sufficiently cover that. Additional advice based on D’s experience would be to take college Stats, but maybe you already ahd AP stats in HS and that would be sufficient also. </p>
