<p>Have you guys try to double major with chemical engineering? especially with biology? I am really a premed drawn to engineering because I like math and physics, but i love to play doctor :)</p>
<p>btw what would be a good way to brush up on the math needed for higher level engineering classes?</p>
<p>I haven’t personally but perhaps Biomedical Engineering would be a niche subject for you?</p>
<p>As for math preparation, just review and ensure you have a good understanding of the lower level math classes (Trig, Calculus, Linear Algebra) and you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>i actually agree with nshah. Biomedical engineering is just one major, so you don’t have to have the stress with a double major.</p>
<p>Depends on your school, you can double major if you wanted too (if your school doesn’t offer biomedical engineering as a major). Generally, biology is a very easy major in most school, so it’s very possible to finish your majors in 4 years.</p>
<p>S is a rising senior majoring in Chem E w/ emphasis in biology. He plans on pursuing pharmaceutical research as a career. You don’t have to do biomed to pursue a health related field. Most of biology classes are in the med school, so he gets a bit of both, med and engr.</p>

<p>I know you probably didn’t mean it in that way, but that sounds more than a little creepy :D</p>
<p>honestly speaking, </p>
<p>i never EVER understood why any premed would want to major in engineering.</p>
<p>not that you can’t or shouldn’t,
but there are so many easier ways of getting there…</p>
<p>1st, goto a reasonably well respected school but where you know you can definitely pull off above 3.5 gpa…</p>
<p>2nd, don’t major in engineering.</p>
<p>prelaws are the same. i never understood those prelaw students who major in engineering… </p>
<p>and now, you are talking about double majoring on top of that.</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure you can get into a medical school if you work hard, but you are really picking a hard way of getting there.</p>
<p>lol… chemE for premed…</p>
<p>I hope you don’t think you’ll get bonus points in the med applications for getting a 3.5 GPA in chemE (stellar btw) and comparing you to 3.9 and 3.8’s from biochemistry/english/art history/biomed etc majors.</p>
<p>Yeah, I feel that premed + engineering is rough to begin with but I have found that a GREAT majority of BME majors are entering medical school. From an academic stand point it seems to make sense–if you can survive typical engineering classes, shouldn’t the MCATs be simple? Also, the engineering analytical and problem solving training would seem to be great for future doctors.</p>
<p>I guess, if you don’t get into medical school, you still have an engineering degree to fall back on. Finally, a common trend of prelaw engineers is to enter the very lucrative but boring (IMO) realm of patent law.</p>
<p>I’m going to be a sophomore at Cornell as a Chem E major, and I am premed as well.</p>
<p>To be honest, I think it would be impossible for me to double major and not go insane. I have a 3.5 gpa at the moment, but i anticipate my classes to get significantly more difficult, as I am taking Honors physical chemistry, differential equations, Java programming, and another engineering course. </p>
<p>I am worried that I will not be able to maintain my GPA for medical school admission, but I plan on combining chemical engineering and medicine.</p>
<p>However, if you feel that you can do well as an engineering double major, than feel free.</p>
