Is it easier to transfer as Public Health vs Undecided/Liberal Arts? (NYU, Vanderbilt, Brown, CWRU)

I’m planning on transferring next fall and right now I’m taking nursing prereqs, but I recently realized I actually want to go to med school instead of nursing. I’m thinking about switching to a Public Health major, since it kind of lines up better with healthcare + medicine.

Is it easier to get in as a Public Health major, or easier to apply as liberal/undecided Basically… does choosing Public Health make it more competitive, or does applying undecided make it harder because it seems less focused?

Any advice from people who transferred into pre-med or health-related majors would help a lot! I'm also looking into NYU, EMORY, Vandy, Brown, and CWRU. i have all A's rn and I had a 95 GPA in highschool w no healthcare related experince since i recently chose this path however, I am very involved on campus rn and I've started volunteering in a hospital+a position on the eboard for a health club.
