<p>How difficult would it be to major in engineering while completing all the pre-med requirements?</p>
<p>Not very difficult,and easy if your engineering major is chemical engineering or bioengineering. With most engineering programs, you will easily meet your physics, math, writing, and inorganic chemistry requirements for pre-med because they are required for an engineering degree (although you may have only one semester of inorganic chemistry required depending on engineering program and you need two semesters of inorganic chemistry to meet pre-med requirements). You have to also pick up a year of organic chemistry, which is usually required for chemical engineering and at least one semester is usually required for bioengineering, leaving only the one year biology requirement which you may be able to meet with courses required in bioengineering.</p>
<p>From what I've read on this board, the challenge is keeping your engineering G.P.A. up to the top standards required for med school.</p>
<p>From what I've seen of engineering undergrad work, and med school, I think that doing both of them would be an incredible grind. IMHO, engineering undergrad is as demanding as med school.</p>
<p>It's not hard as far as taking the required premed classes, but it's pretty difficult to keep your GPA up to med school standards, i.e. 3.5+.</p>
<p>I concur with the rest. <em>technically it is quite doable</em> But in reality, very few people who start doing this end doing this. It's a real hard grind on your gpa. Engineers already have to work their butts off. Though I wouldn't equate engineering with med school (med school is much tougher I've always thought)</p>
<p>is a 3.5 gpa overall?</p>
<p>Some environmental engineering programs also are reasonable for pre-med.</p>
