<p>So I am still currently a senior in high school. I finished most of my applications back in November, saying I wanted to be an engineer. However, after recently attending multiple meetings and career days and listening to various doctors in the medical field speak about their professions, I decided that I want to switch over, but after thinking about it for a bit. </p>
<p>My top college choice as of now is Saint Louis University, though I am still waiting to hear from Gonzaga and Villanova. If I wanted to switch, how would I go about doing that? Would I just have to go through a year of engineering, or can I say something sooner rather than later?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Can anybody help me??</p>
<p>Well, it depends. You should search your college website and look for change of major. Normally you can change majors up until 2 year, when you begin to take more in-depth courses, but you can just complete the first year doing the required courses to change into biology. Should you email the office of admissions telling them about how can you change majors, sometimes they even let you do it before the start of classes.</p>
<p>No particular major is required to take the pre-med courses, although engineering majors tend to have a lot of requirements, so that fitting the pre-med courses into and around an engineering major other than biomedical or chemical may be difficult.</p>
<p>Majoring in biology is basically medical (or other professional) school or bust, since it has relatively poor major-specific job prospects at the bachelor’s degree level. Most freshmen intending pre-med do not eventually get into any medical school.</p>
