It is mainly concern about the academic rigor of the program. If you major in economics, rather than business, then no one worries that it is a less challenging program. Medical schools may worry globally about the supply of other medical professionals, but that does not factor into individual admissions decisions. Like all applicants, you need to convince them that you rally want a medical education. It is not that difficult to do this. Some medical schools have joint MD/MBA programs, so obviously they see the value of business education.

I don’t know how many Wharton students go to medical school. I know some, but I agree it is probably a small proportion of the student body.
