Does specialized major looks better?

if you’re an english or spanish major, you don’t take higher level bio or chem courses. only bio, chem, biochem, and other science majors take higher level science courses and this is because they are required for their majors. the pre-med english/spanish/non-science majors only take the core pre-med requirements. for example, they aren’t going to be taking biochem, microbio, advanced cell, etc.

however, a pre-med computer science, for example, may be fine without taking these higher level science courses because CS is notorious for being an extremely hard major. same goes for engineering and whatnot. i personally do not think a pre-med spanish major is looked at the same as a pre-med bio/chem/CS/engineering/etc major. at least i hope they are looked at differently!? i dont know, you tell me, you’re in med school already i think. i’m just half way thru my undergrad.
