<p>Of course, you can be any major and apply to med school as long as you fulfill the necessary courses. Med school admissions won’t give preference over a particular major but what I am trying to get at is that it’s not necessary to major in business admin. and fulfill the pre-med courses at the same time. It’s just a waste of time especially with the core courses for haas. </p>
<p>Now, getting simultaneous degree in business admin and some other degree (which I am assuming would fulfill the pre med courses) is inefficient. Med school admissions are going to look at MCAT scores, essays, and GPA at the end of the day so another degree in business admin will not significantly boost an applicant’s chances of getting in. </p>
<p>Some business courses may be useful for a practicing physician but does it mean they need to major in business admin.? Absolutely not.</p>
