<p>Would you guys say that it’s easier finding a research position in a lab as a pure Biology major as opposed to a Biology and Society major when one wants to go into medical school later?</p>

<p>No, there are a lot of research positions available. </p>

<p>The only time I felt discriminated against was when professors refused to give me a research position because I was premed (vs. grad school hopeful).</p>

<p>Why do profs discriminate against pre-meds?</p>

4

<p>Because they stereotypically are only doing it for the resume building, and not for actual interest in research.</p>

<p>This translates into lack of work ethic, mediocre creativity, etc.</p>
