<p>Correct. But nevertheless, I would guess that the vast majority of bio majors are pre-health. (And those bio that end up applying to LS is because they bombed organic chem.) </p>
<p>IMO, a pre-law student would be foolish to major in a science field; the labs are extremely unpredictable and grading is as random as the TA. And unlike law school, which is ~95% about two hard numbers, the numbers only count as a floor for med applicants.</p>
