As far as what major you should have in college, the absolute best advice I could give you is to major in something you are passionate about and will enjoy studying for the next four years. If that happens to be Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, etc., great! This means you will be naturally prepared for the MCAT, and might get a head start on some of your medical school classes. Additionally, Biology majors usually have to take lots of the pre-med requirements anyway to fulfill their major requirements, and the cross-over of these courses helps ease the load. However, if your true passion is politics, communications, history, or any other major your university might offer, then major in it. Do your pre-med requirements on the side, and focus on doing well in them. But make sure you enjoy the college experience, and get everything you can out of it. If a non-science major better suits you, you definitely won’t get left in the dust. Some even argue applying to medical school with an english major or a history major increases your odds of getting in, because medical schools love diversity and will look at a successful pre-med with a passion in something other than science as an interesting, well-rounded candidate.

The bottom line is what you major in is pretty irrelevant when it comes time to apply for medical school. What is more important is to do well in your pre-med classes, get a good score on the MCAT (high 20s at least), and try to get some medical experience in your extracurriculars. Also, have a blast! College is an amazing experience that may very well be the best time of your life. Try not to let getting into medical school run your life (I know this is hard; trust me, it all works out). You’ve probably heard this 1,000 times before, but leading a well-balanced life in college will definitely pay-off. Good luck!
