If someone is interested in going to medical school, does being a biology major offer any advantage or disadvantage over being some other major? It seems that if someone graduates as a biology major and is not able to get admission to any medical schools (or decides that he is no longer interested in becoming a doctor), then his job prospects will be poor with just a biology degree (few jobs and low pay).
Medical schools are inundated with applicants who majored in biology. It seems that someone who majored in some non-bio major such as economics (and took the prerequisites for going to medical school) will stand out more from the typical biology major. And, maybe medical schools want some diversity in their class by having non-biology majors.
