<p>Your daughter should major in something she enjoys and will result in the highest GPA. Biology majors do not have better acceptance rates than any other major. (In fact, they have a slightly lower acceptance rate.) Here’s something else to mull over…it used to be that the most common major for Harvard med school matriculants was English. I don’t know if this is still true, though. </p>
<p>I like to think of it this way; Imagine you are on the admissions committee of your favorite med school. You see HUNDREDS of biology majors…year after year…again and again. They all have high GPAs, extra curriculars and good MCAT scores. Now, think of what type of student is going to stand out or has a better chance at making a lasting impression? Right. Probably not all those Biology students.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
