<p>Hi
I am a senior in high school and am getting ready to start applying to colleges. I am interested in applying to medical school after my under graduate degree but for my bachelors I would like to do Computer Science or Chemical Engineering. Which of the two degrees would help me more with my aim of getting into medical school? Which of the two majors is easier in terms of getting a good GPA? How do the two majors compare in terms of level of difficulty/work load?</p>

<p>If you do Chemical Engineering you’ll take a lot of the premed classes since they are part of the degree plan but if do computer science you’ll have to make time in your schedule for both CS and a lot of Chemistry/Biology. Both are pretty difficult to get good a GPA in and have similar workloads.</p>
