Bioengineering VS Computer engineering

<p>would a major in Bioengineering help me get into a Medical school? what about computer engineering?</p>

<p>Bioengineering will help if there is an organic chem requirement and lots of biology classes. One thing to keep in mind is that Med Schools care about your SCIENCE and MATH gpa and not your ENGINEERING gpa.</p>

<p>I have a few friends in Chem E and Bio E who want to be a doctors, they all got screwed thinking if they chose a harder major the medical school admissions boards would see that engineering was tougher than other majors and this put them above the rest, well it didnt work that way. If you want to be a doctor dont screw around, choose the easier major possible that includes your pre-med courses, get the highest GPA possible and do some volunteering and you should be set.</p>

<p>a major that has all the pre-med and the computer engineering stuff is bio informatics, my school has this, idk about the rest.</p>

<p>No it will not. Med schools don't care about major. The time you save in overlap between BioE and premed is not a good reason to major in it. Do what you like...and what you can get a higher GPA in.</p>

<p>Only do it if you can easily can high marks, but not many people can do that.</p>

<p>It wouldnt help you but it certainly would prepare you. Many of the Biomedical Eng students go onto Med school (as they also usually get the highest MCAT scores). If you can get through Biomed eng. with a good GPA then you're set. However the question remains can you get a good GPA? it certainly is possible, just harder.</p>
