What majors do pre-med dropouts usually switch to?

<p>Just so you know, pre-med isn’t a major - I have many friends who are pre-med but majoring in subjects as varied as Public Policy, Biology (most common major for a pre-med), Economics, History, Philosophy, etc. Pre-med is just a track of courses that you take in addition to your major (or, if you’re a Bio or Chem major, many of the requirements overlap). So you can decide to major in, say, English, if that’s what really floats your boat, you can major in English and still be pre-med. If you decide the pre-med classes themselves (and not the pre-med major, which is non-existent at Duke) are not for you, you can still keep the original major and just not take any more sciences. I have a few friends who are Bio majors and were pre-med, but then decided they don’t want to be, so they’re taking the same classes and keeping their major, but with the intent of doing research after Duke.</p>
