Off-topic- Are there actually still "pre-med" programs in the US? In Canada most of them disappeared by the mid 1960s (because anyone who has taken bio-chem and organic chem, and has fulfilled the other requisites can apply). Ditto for pre-law. If I had taken organic, I could still claim that I'm "pre-med" technically, so can most of my undergrad student body.

It is not a major in and of itself. Many different majors can lead to med school. If med school is the goal though, it is wise to take certain courses to do well on the MCAT.
