Choice of Major
Your choice of major should be based on your interest and aptitude. Though medical schools are looking for students with demonstrated ability in basic science courses, they also value a strong overall academic performance in any major - especially a field in which you are required to reason logically and analytically, read critically, and speak and write clearly and concisely. Over the past few years, nearly every department here at CWRU has had successful premedical applicants, and a wide variety of majors are accepted nationally. Where percentages of acceptance vary, the reason is more likely to be due to differences in the strength of the records presented rather than to any preference given to particular majors.
