i cannot express how wrong and misleading this statement is.
I sent 2 math majors to med school so they had waaaay more math than just linear algebra. No one gave a hoot. Seriously not one interviewer cared. Not for med school admission, not for residency placement. Math accomplishments never mentioned. Never even brought up. (Well, other than the fact the one D, who was a double physics & math major, was on the receiving end of some gender-based harassment from a male interviewer who accused her of lying about her majors. Plus he made an inappropriate comment about her appearance. Who says sexism is dead? )
