Biomed Engineering for med school...

<p>I'm a sophmore in hs,and I have ALWAYS wanted to be either a pedriatrician, or a neurologist. Recently I have been questioning what my major should be in college for the premed track. I was thinking of biomedical engineering seeing I love math,and science,and engineering has always been my second choice if med school doesnt work out. My question is: is it possible to major in biomed engieneering and minor in biology/chemistry/or some other science... And what should I be doing in hs to prepare for the medical/engineering field. I already applied and got into an engineering camp @ UT Arlington,and I have been doing volunteering at Baylor hospital. Next year I'm planning to apply for a type of "internship" program @ Children's hospital. Thanks in advance :),and sorry for my horrible spelling and grammer,I'm in a rush</p>

<p>You can major in anything and still go to medical school. You can major in BME but your gpa might be less than those who are biology majors. Pre meds must focus on getting the highest gpa attainable and have good mcat scores along with decent clinical experience and LORs.</p>

<p>Is it possible to major in biomed engieneering and minor in biology/chemistry/or some other science? There’s no point in doing that. Your major should give you enough background in biology/biochemistry/ and chemistry. Spend more time in extracurricular activities and researches.</p>
