Well, you could major in Accounting and just take the base pre-reqs for Pre-Med (Gen Chem 1&2, Organic 1&2, Physics 1&2, Bio 1&2, etc) on the side, without really having to major in Neurology. Med School adcoms have no preference on which major you choose in your undergrad, so long as you satisfy the prereqs, rock the MCAT, LORs, EC’s, etc.

With that said, it may still be difficult to get into internships that you need to be competitive in Accounting while finishing all of the prereqs for med school, plus amassing the EC’s, grades and upper level science courses (like genetics, and biochemistry) ONTOP of studying for the MCAT so you can obtain a good score that you will need in order to remain a competitive applicant in the four year window. You could do a post-bacc or go head to a community college to finish off some pre-reqs if you want to, but I’m not sure how intuitive that is for you.

It may come down to you having to choose which is most important to you, and sail off in that direction.
