[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Investment banking, medical schools, law schools and management consulting have high percentage of humanities majors. [/quote]

Investment banking =Must attend target schools usually top 15-20
medical schools = Humanities majors lack the requisite courses (organ. chem, physics etc.) to apply to med schools (also need 3.92+ GPA)
law schools = Must go to top 10 or bust now days
management consulting = Look at IB answer.[/quote]

Plenty of humanities majors go to medical school.  All that is required is the core/required courses (10-12 courses).  Med schools would rather see someone who majors in something they love and take the requisite courses for med school than someone who just majors in Bio because it covers all prerequisites (or most).

Oh yeah, "plenty" of humanities majors go to medical school. Looks like a whopping 3% of applicants majored in humanities. Good luck to those folks who majored in "something they love" LMAO.

Meanwhile 58% majored in bio. Hmmm yeah looks like med schools don't want to see those boring old bio majors.  :roll: [/quote]

Only 36% of bio majors that applied got accepted.  44% of Humanities majors were accepted.  
Only 36% of people who applied were accepted overall. So biology majors were just average. 
  Humanities has the highest overall acceptance rate of any category.  Seems like they did well majoring in "something they love".   Statistically a much higher chance of getting Med school acceptance as a Humanities major.

Because other than the requisite courses for med school, all those other easy humanities courses helped with the gpa compared to STEM majors.  :shock: [/quote]
