<p>Also, you said that med schools are “looking for students who have demonstrated that they are exceptionally good thinkers and could handle the rigor of the curriculum at their school”. </p>
<p>Okay, answer this: since this is the case, what do you think med schools would really look at? MCAT/GPA or selection of major? </p>
<p>Great MCAT/GPA is proof that a student is a good thinker and can handle med school curriculum. How superficial would med schools have to be to think that a student’s major determines how good of a physician he/she would be? </p>
<p>This is ridiculous. You’re reading too much into the importance of major. You can give me these statistics, but you can’t tell me that a student with good MCAT, GPA, etc. would get rejected by med schools because of choice of major.</p>
