<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm currently a pre-med student and I dislike it so far not because of the hardwork, but simply because the idea of being a doctor is no longer that appealing to me. The thing is, I'm still pretty passionate about the field of science (just not as a doctor), so I was thinking about at least getting a degree in chemical engineering. The reason I'm thinking chem E is because I hear that the skill-set is marketable for many positions in the finance world, and I can get into both alternative fuels or medicine (the fields I like) as well as the finance world. Here's the catch: I know in my heart that my true passion is business and I'd prefer to be a businessman than engineer, yet I want to work in these fields.</p>
<p>Wow I just realized that was a really long digress lol. The point of this post is, I'll be honest, I know I'm not the smartest person in the world and I really doubt that I'll get a high enough GPA to warrant consideration at the top energy consulting/trading firms if I pursue chemical engineering. So I'm looking ahead to my MBA. Obviously I'll need a high GMAT score, but what GPA should I reasonably maintain (with an engineering degree), and what ECs/work experience should I get so that I can go to Stanford GSB or similar elite business schools?</p>
