I heard that med schools favor the social sciences over the hard sciences slightly in admissions. And that your major doesn’t factor THAT MUCH in med school admissions.

Apparently being an education major is the easiest major

Hypothetically speaking, since education is a social science, and med schools favor a high GPA (Education major average 3.8 according to this article), would it be smart for me to major in education, take pre med classes and maintaining a high GPA to get into great med schools? I don’t want to end up majoring in something so difficult that it’ll make me get a 3.4 GPA or lower as opposed to a top notch GPA.
