Pre-med vs. Business major!!??

@Olay

If you’re thinking pre-med, then by all means stick to a biology-related major (life sciences) and do that because med schools aren’t going to be super impressed if you had another degree in business admin.

<p>Will the medical schools necessarily be any more impressed by a biology major over some other major who has taken the pre-med courses? Doing a biology major also means that you are betting everything on getting into medical school; if you do not get into any medical school (the fate of most pre-meds), you will join the masses of formerly pre-med biology graduates competing for low paid lab technician jobs.</p>

<p>Some business courses might actually be useful for a practicing physician in private or small group practice.</p>
