I personally think that this is an awesome idea -I suck at languages or else I would love to learn Japanese. Of course this is just my opinion and based on NO actual stats or experience.

However, some medical schools, i.e. Stanford, actually recommend proficiency in a foreign language “specifically Spanish or an East Asian language.” Considering that, I’d say that your major choice is a plus, or at least helpful. There is also that fact that you’d be pretty unique, especially if you found some way to integrate your pre-medical ECs with your language skills.
