Biology major at LACs?

[CrewDad]

The Association of American Medical Colleges has data to suggest that your major simply does not matter when it comes to getting accepted to medical school. According to their data, only 51 percent of students who enrolled in medical school in 2012 majored in biological sciences. That means the remaining medical school matriculants majored in humanities, math or statistics, physical sciences, social sciences or specialized health sciences.

In the end, the right major for you truly depends on the balance of what you are passionate about, what you can intellectually handle and what is practical.

@SunnyFlorida22 If research is of paramount importance, some LACs offer research beginning the first year. For Example:

Vassar students have multiple opportunities to engage in original research beginning as early as the first year. They do independent research for course credit, work as paid research assistants in professors’ labs, and do intensive summer work both on campus through the Undergraduate Research Summer Institute (URSI) and at other major research laboratories—NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Mayo Clinic, and Los Alamos National Laboratory, to name a few.
