floridadad, I am going to have to completely disagree with you.

In college, major in what you want to. It’s the last time you’ll get a chance to study whatever you want. If you are truly interested in being a physician, you can easily major in econ but just make sure the rest of your profile looks like someone who wants to be a doctor (e.g. don’t take summer internships at banks). The only danger with majoring outside of bio and chem is that your major doesn’t relate to medicine as well so you have to make sure the things you do outside of the classroom show your interest. If the rest of your application says “I like medicine” the fact that you studied economics isn’t going to matter at all.
