[quote=Anonymous]I feel like we see this question, or some cousin to it, every week. I work at a med school (although I'm not in admissions). Bottom line: 1) You need to get the prerequisite science classes done, and with high grades; and 2) gain a strong facility with the subjects tested on the MCAT (yes physics is on there in addition to the other sciences). This is a hell of a lot easier to accomplish with a science major, but not impossible to do with a major in anything else. As others have mentioned, you need a strong overall GPA as well (I guess that's obvious?); majoring in something that interests you certainly helps with that; although I think the general consensus that a high gpa is "easier" in the humanities is not necessarily true -- as a pp pointed out, there are all of those papers to write .. and there actually are some things that are harder to understand than organic chem (I'm looking at you Immanuel Kant).
