It's actually a good idea that you're an English Major. At least when you apply to med school (after you've done the pre-reqs,check the AMA website:
AMA - American Medical Association Home Page ) you will not be compared to science majors and therefore might have an easier way in to med school. I know because I'm surrounded by people applying to med school or have been accepted (I work at UCLA). At one time, we had this technician who's a Spanish Major at UCLA and got accepted to UCLA David Geffen medical school. She did her pre-reqs and had an outstanding work experience with us and a lot of volunteer work around the area. Plus it helped that she got recommendation letters from UCLA doctors. And MCAT score really matters too.
Then there are people who opt for PA (Physician's Assistant), a lil easier way in to the medical field. I'm not trying to dissuade you from med school, but just opening up some other options.
Med school is tough and long. You have to make sure that you want this for the right reason. At first I wanted it, but decided against it (a lot of reasons). Try volunteering or working at hospitals that will give you patient contact and see if you like the experience. Just always remember, patients are different than any regular clients/customers.
