Biology, Biomedical Engineering, or Business for pre-med?

I remember med school RECRUITERS coming to my Ivy’s engineering school to recruit engineering students to apply to med schools. They sure as heck weren’t coming to recruit the biology majors! My girlfriend had I think a 3.4 GPA in engineering, got into a fantastic med school that was very inexpensive even for out of state, was dirt cheap for in state. They definitely considered the fact that engineering GPAs are a bit lower than other GPAs.

How recent was this? It seems pretty odd in the modern era, but perhaps not out of line for a few decades ago when getting in was much easier.

To anyone reading, do med schools send out recruiters now - at all? They definitely don’t have to.
