I would say, statistically, many people in that program want to apply to med school. Many people who do other life science programs may want to pursue a different career. For example, in my program, only 3 people applied to med school. The others wanted to pursue masters and applied to other programs. Out of the 3 that applied, we all got in (at some point. I was the last out of my 3 friends who got in.)
I'm sure the health science program at mac has their advantages, but I'd argue that every program does. Just do a program that you are excited to be in, so it will reflect in your grades. If thats health sciences, you should most definitely do that!
