Are you thinking that a med school prefers bio majors because most of their students were bio majors? That is not the case. It’s just that most premeds are bio majors because that major includes most of the premed prereqs and usually has a premed track that conveniently lays out a semester by semester course list to include all that’s needed.

Med schools don’t care what you major in. We’re not even sure if they even bother to notice what an applicant majored in. Sometimes an interesting major or minor will get talked about during an interview but probably because the interviewer is simply intrigued, not because s/he is discerning whether that education interest is med school worthy.

Major in what interests you and where you can excel.
