<p>I’m not a pre-med, but I wanted to say: I don’t know where you got that hum bio makes it hard to be pre-med. That’s the most popular pre-med major. Because you get a BA in it, it’s easier to get a high GPA than if you were majoring in biology. I read that the pre-med acceptance rate is above 90% for humbio majors, but the overall acceptance rate is lower because Stanford has more pre-meds majoring in hard science or engineering, which lower your GPA. I don’t think you’ll have any trouble getting recommendations or research opportunities (freshman year, I had a few friends who did medical internships that summer, two were humbio majors, one was a bioengineering major).</p>
