Would i have a lower chance if i major is business?

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>I really have a passion for medicine and business, but i don't want to major in chem or bio so if i don't get into dental school, i can still have some job openings instead of becoming a chem teacher.... </p>

<p>I was wondering if picking a business major for my undergrad would lower my chances because its looked upon as a easy major. I mean they would take an engineer or chem major before me right?</p>

<p>I am by no means an expert; I’m just another premed but, I can tell you that business will not be looked down upon by admission reps of medical schools. (Not sure about dentistry schools, sorry) Just don’t major in majors that are too vocational sounding and you’re fine. </p>

<p>It won’t help or hurt your admissions as long as you have a good GPA, science GPA, and MCAT.</p>

<p>The only downside is it makes it more difficult to find good research, since professors will obviously favor majors pertaining in the area.</p>

<p>And I don’t know about your school, but business is in no way an easy major at mine. In fact, it’s arguably as one of the most competitive disciplines at my school (along with top performing brackets of pre-meds and also engineers).</p>

<p>I do not think it will hurt your chance. On the other hand it is much easier (from one with MBA and engineering background). There is a huge gap of difficulty level between engineering and business majors, I would place bio related majors in between, but closer to engineering.</p>

<p>nope, I am an econ major, and my pre-med advisers never said anything about it hurting me.</p>

<p>I think it depends on what your “business” major actually is. If its just econ, then you are totally fine. However, if you go 2 babson or somwhere and are getting a vocational business major, I think some med school admissions officers will raise their eyebrows when they see what you studied in college.</p>

<p>^^^^ I think this is too generalized of a statement, it depends on the school. Some schools, such as Wharton and other top BBA schools, Notre Dame, Emory, MIT, have REALLY difficult business classes. Since the difficulty of each major varies so much from school to school, med school adcoms place little emphasis on “difficulty” of major. </p>

<p>Choose something you like studying and that you are good at.</p>
