According to what I have read on this forum and on other website, I have found that liberal arts majors have better success rate applying to med school than science majors. Biology, chemistry, nursing are all majors where you learn essential skills for medical school (and to be a doctor for nursing) yet they have an astounding low acceptance rate to med school. Is there a reason for this? (I feel a bit nervous because I want to major in Biology or Biochemistry)

On mdapplicants.com, there was a trend where the science GPA is significantly lower than the overall GPA for admitted students. Is there a reason? Are science classes harder than nonscience classes?

Also, is it true that liberal art classes (History, sociology, psychology, political science…) are easier to have higher grades than science classes in college(bio,chem…)? ( This puzzles me because I have always done better on science classes so far)
