Serious question, if you are or think you are smart enough for Med school why wouldn't you get a degree in something professional as a fall back? Not to mention it would help with your med school application? Do people feel like getting an easier degree in Biology or liberal arts to get a better gpa is better than something harder?

I also don't understand why there isn't a 'medical' undergrad degree where if you don't get into medical school you are still on track to be a nurse or similar path?

Nurses should be people who want to be nurses, not bitter med school rejects.

The smartest and hardest working people that I know got an engineering degree then went to med school. One of them went from LSU to Ivy League med school. Biology is kind of a default degree since it can prepare you for year 1 of med school
