Pre-med or Biomed engineering?

<p>Hey. I am a high school senior who wants to attend Georgia Tech. I want to pursue a medical career. My dad is a doctor, and I have a brother attending Tech for biomedical engineering too. My brother is taking biomed engineering as his major to ultimately get into med school and have a back up plan. For me, I want to take pre-med, but I'm not sure if I should biomed engineering for safety. I have no idea how hard Pre-med is at tech, but I'm aware that biomed engineering is sort of difficult but with hard work possible. I did a little research on my own to find that 80% of Pre-Med students at tech made it to a med school. I just don't want to hang off a cliff. I am probably salutatorian of my class, so there is no question of me not working hard. Yet, I am still a little uncertain of which major to select. Any advice will be helpful. Thank you all sincerely.</p>

<p>Simply put…the only advice we can give you, is that med schools care about GPA/MCAT, not major. As biomed major, you’d have a much harder time keeping up a high GPA, but you’d also be very well prepared on course material. </p>

<p>What you should find out is of that 80%, how many were biomed majors (or, even all forms of engineering). Most engineering majors don’t continue school past their BS.</p>

<p>Well, here is Georgia Tech’s career survey:

<p>What subjects are you considering majoring in besides BME? Pre-med can be done alongside any major, although it may be a pretty crowded schedule in any engineering other than BME or chemical.</p>
