<p>one extra course of organic chem will tip the scales that much? i was thinking when i'm a junior/senior i wont really have to take any premed courses so i can explore some other non math/science subjects then. i may overwork myself for a 3.9/4.0 but i think my goal of a 3.7 is possible. but still, i may end up taking the bioengineering minor route...but then theres the problem of too many math/sci courses with 2 engineering concentrations. anyway, i hope i dont have to give up my interest in aerospace engineering for being med-school eligible.</p>
<p>I know that George Washington University has a specific program for Engineering and Medicine. You might want to check that out.</p>
<p>To the last poster, can you provide some more information on that, maybe a link or something, i'm having trouble finding it.</p>
<p>May I suggest biological engineering?</p>
<p>The great thing about biological eng. is that in order to fulfill med school requirements, you only need to add one semester of orgo, and one semester of general chem. Everything else is covered in the major.</p>
<p>It's harder than a traditional bio major, but it provides a really nice "plan B" in engineering if for some reason you decide medicine isn't for you.</p>
<p>There are some courses in biomechanics within the biological engineering major. We don't have a BME major, but you can pretty much make the Biological engineering major medical focused if you choose your classes right.</p>
<p>Yeah, I was thinking Biological Engineering too.</p>
<p>what are your intentions for going into med? what are your intentions for getting into engineering? Def don't choose major based on status or the money because both majors are really demanding and will suck the life out of you.</p>
<p>if you have a heart to help people medically speaking, then med is a good choice. </p>
<p>if you love problem solving and help improve the world, be an engineer! </p>
<p>good luck</p>
<p>I like both, and haven't picked one over the other, yet.</p>
