I am currently a rising freshman at Emory University and am planning to major in biology (b/c I like biology, not just b/c it’s a science). I was informed that many Emory students do end up pursuing a second major or a minor. I’m not sure whether or not I want to double major or minor yet, and I was wondering if double majors and minors help when applying to med school, or if not pursuing a double major/minor would hurt. If so, how great is the advantage of a double major/minor? Also, are there any majors/minors that med schools prefer, or does it not really matter?

Thanks!
