<p>I respectfully disagree with Mom2. If you look at the courses in med school, you will see microbio., histology, immunology, pharmacology, embryology, statistics, etc. The breadth of courses offered to a student persuing a BS will be much better preparation. The courses required for a BA will prepare a student for the MCAT, but what will distinguish them from all of the other med. school applicants? What preparation may make life a little easier in med school or grad school?</p>
