Pre-med and Engineering

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>Although I am not sure where I will be going next year, I was wondering if it is possible to major in engineering and still manage a GPA good enough for top medical schools. Right now, I will either be attending Johns Hopkins, Northwestern or Cornell. My major will either be biomedical or chemical engineering.</p>

<p>Does anybody have any experience or know how successful engineers can be when applying to med school? I know that generally engineers' GPA is lower than people who major in like biology, but is it compensated for by the fact that it is engineering?</p>

<p>If you have been admitted to Engineering schools in those three Universities, you must be in the top 5% of your graduating class anyway.
Assuming you continue to apply yourself as you have in HS, maintaining your GPA should not be a problem I would think.</p>
