Pretend you aren’t going to med school. What would you major in if Plan B were Plan A? Major in that. It’ll be fine if med school ends up remaining Plan A.

Be sure it’s something you enjoy. Students get better grades more easily when they’re studying something they like. As a pp mentioned, in many schools you don’t need to declare a major right away so you should have time to contemplate a couple options if you aren’t sure just yet.

FWIW, most college students end up changing their major anyway, so knowing “for certain” ahead of time is rarely necessary. (A quick google search shows 50% to 80% pending which site one looks at - and of course, many are undecided to start with.)
