I’m gonna be going to college in fall of '11 and was wondering what is the best major for me if I want to go the premed route? From what I hear, there are 2 sides…
A. take a science major so that you are well prepared for med school
B. take a nonscience major so that you can get a higher GPA, and because med schools like “well-rounded” students…

Where does everyone stand on all this? If I take a random major like philosophy or something, wouldn’t that be a waste of time for me and completely irrelevant to what I plan on doing? Or is it a good idea???
