<p>hey guys, im applying to penn RD, but i cant decide between nursing and engineering. i know that i’m probably leanring toward the medical field, but would a nursing degree from penn really be appropriate for med school to become a doctor? and engineering…i know its a lot of hard work, but if theres a good yield to med school, i think im up for it. anyway, here are my stats:</p>
<p>1480 (800M 680V)/790/780/710/lots of science, political, community service ECS, and varsity sport/ pretty good recs/ good , TOUCHING! essay at my volunteer work at the hospital</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
<p>1/4 of the biomed engineers are also premed (thats what they said on the tour)
so it is possible</p>
<p>No. If you want to become a doctor, you should NOT apply to the nursing school. Penn frowns on pre-med nurses. Penn wants people who go to the nursing school to become nurses.</p>
<p>go with engineering</p>
<p>hmmmmm... just wondering though.. what are the acceptance rates? i think i may go for engineering though.. a premed nurse doesnt sound right..</p>
<p>engineering is relatively easier to get into than college or wharton, thats what i've heard. Penn would want you to do engineering if you want to be a doctor. I heard alot of engineers, especially biomedical and chem, pursue premed. So yeah, engineering.</p>
