I’ve started off my first semester strong with A’s on my first two exams. I’m majoring in Chemical Engineering with the pre medical option and I am minoring in Biochemistry. I’m hoping to get some tips on here about certain important steps to take on the path to medical school. I am also wondering if I should change my major to something more biology related instead of engineering or maybe switch to biomedical engineering instead of chemical. Any advice will be amazingly helpful about this. Johns Hopkins is my dream school and I am willing to go the extra mile or extra hundred miles to get accepted there in four years. Thank you in advance to any one who gives me tips.
What matters is GPA. Don’t worry about the major being biology related. One of my college buddies went to med school as an English major.
Just pick a major you can live with if med school doesn’t happen.
Don’t get too caught up in attending a “dream” med school.
Do you know what they call a guy who graduates from a no-name med school?

PrimeMeridian is right–don’t get hung up on a “dream” med school. It’s tough enough to get accepted to any med school. (You know that every year 60% of med school applicants don’t get a single acceptance, don’t you? And that 75% of freshmen pre-meds never even get to point of being actual med school applicants.)
But if you want a peek at JHU’s admitted class for 2020, it’s here:
