@hello98 to add on to my previous (looong post), minors and double majors may not help you with the actual medical school admissions but they can enhance your educational experience and give you insight to a way of thinking that is not strictly cut and dry science. For example taking a minor in medical and scientific humanities may not help you directly with medical school admissions but can allow you to better understand the philosophy, ethics, and history pertaining to medicine and better understand the relationship between caregiver and patient. This can also enhance the breadth of your interviews. Whereas a double major in a business field can prepare you later on if you end up wanting to open a private practice. TLDR: Minors and majors don’t help admissions but can help with interviews and make you more well-rounded.
