Hypothesis:

3.9/36: Major and university usually don’t matter.
3.4/27: Major and university DEFINITELY don’t matter.
3.9/26: Major and university probably don’t matter; you’ll be perceived as a very hard worker who won’t survive medical school.

3.7/32: You need every boost you can get, academic major and top-flight university included.

3.4/36: Here’s where I think they REALLY kick in. If you’re in a vocational major at an easy school, people might say, “Well, he’s just lazy.” Or perhaps “The MCAT was a fluke.” If you’re in an academic major at a top-flight school, people might say, “He’s obviously smart, look at the MCAT score. He’s just at a tough school.”
