Engineering into Med School. Need Help PLEASE!

College Majors Engineering Majors
1

<p>Hey i'm a HS senior. I'm interested in med school and I was accepted into a bunch of good schools that I'm having trouble deciding between. I was thinking of becoming a biomedical engineering major or Chemical engineering major and then applying for med school after. If I didn't get in, I would still have a fallback degree. If you were in my shoes, which school would you choose (knowing that med school is expensive and I want to cut back on as much debt as possible).</p>

<p>Brown (Considering to be my top choice, but a bit expensive for me. Parents want me to take the cheaper alternatives, but it has an amazing campus, smart and fun people, etc. You only experience the undergraduate life once right?)
Cooper Union (FREE, would major ChemE here. But college experience is lacking here... I've heard social life is nonexistent with like 80% of the school male)
Sophie Davis (8 year bs-md program. Very cheap too. But restricted to primary care and social life also nonexistent. Also heard it doesnt prepare you much)
Cornell (Got into their engineering school. Offered less aid than Brown.)</p>

<p>Can anyone offer me advice on which school, which major, anything in general? Thanks! All help appreciated!</p>

<p>Engineering has the lowest GPA and Chemical is notoriously known as one of the hardest engineering degree. I wouldn’t bother with med school.</p>

<p>That sounds like a good plan to me. It’s a win/win no matter what. Good luck to you, and study hard!</p>

<p>Brown, Biomedical. Let the tuition drive you to study harder.</p>

<p>Brown’s GPA calculation system is weird as you can take any courses as pass or fail and they don’t have half grades like (a- or b+). Is it worth it to spend more money to get into a school with a good reputation than to enter a combined med program that gets you into med school without having to take MCATs or applying for med school?</p>

<p>If you are dead set on med school, I’d say go for guaranteed Med program. Med school is extremely difficult to get into, so having it guaranteed is ALWAYS good.</p>
