<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>
