Does Major really not matter for med school admissions?

I hear this throw around all the time that taking the pre-med pre-reqs is all that matters and your major itself isn't taken into consideration. But would a medical school really not favor a student who majored in say biology taking higher level bio classes over someone majoring in the humanities and only taking the basic pre-med requirements as outlined by the med schools?
