It seems logical to think that non-Science majors would be at a disadvantage when applying to medical school since they would have taken less science courses than those Science majors and less advanced science classes. But I have heard that it is actually beneficial to major in something non-science related? Can anyone clear this up?

Also, I will be a freshmen next year in college and am planning on majoring in Political Science with a possible minor in Economics. I will also be pre-med, as well. So obviously I will not have much room in my schedule to fit many science classes. I will fulfill all my pre-med requirements but I will probably only be taking intro-level science classes. Does it matter that I will not have taken advanced science classes and that I will not have as much science classes as a science major?
