<p>Actually, vince, with the exception of the top research powerhouses – top ~10 – med schools do not care about anything more than the minimum math/science requirements. Bio majors are 'a dime a dozen"… On a percentage basis, music majors have (one of?) the highest acceptance rates to med school. Philosophy majors have high acceptance rates as well. </p>
<p>Moreover, 33% of the MCAT is Verbal, so taking reading/writing courses can only help, particularly since there appears to be a VR floor score which is a near auto-reject for any non-hooked candidate. (Many science geeks lose admissions based on their VR score alone.)</p>
<p>OTOH, your point to the OP is well taken. An application has to make sense to the reader: someone who expresses an interest in Math as a major but bombs the SAT-M or ACT-M and Math subject test is going to raise an eyebrow or two, as in ‘Huh?’</p>
