<p>Hey all. When I applied to JHU, I put BME as my 1st choice major and ChemE as my 2nd major, but in recent months I have greatly considered going to med school. I think now I would prefer to major in something that will not be as demanding and a bit easier to get a higher GPA such as biology. I was wondering if anybody knew how easy it would be for me to change my major to something in the Arts and Sciences school instead of Engineering. I know that at some schools going from engineering to arts and sciences is almost the same as transferring to a completely different institution.</p>
<p>Does anybody know anything about how easy it is to change from an engineering major to a non-engineering major?</p>
<p>Med schools love engineers to be honest because they are a rare find. You should stay with engineering and just follow the pre-med courses in addition. That last thing you want to do is follow the conventional path allowing you to look like everyone else.</p>
<p>Hmm, alright. I will probably end up keeping with engineering, I just wanted to know what my options were should I decide not to do it. When I actually get to college, I guess I will have the pre-professional counseling place help me out.</p>
<p>lol, engineers score some of the highest grades in the country, and thats what med schools want haha... if u really wanna go to med school take a course that appeals to you, one that you know you can score well in, and that can become a backup in case you decide not to enter med.</p>
<p>Remember, don't force yourself into liking a course because that course seems more appropriate for the program (med school in your case)... generally speaking, med school's want to see that you've done well throughout your undergrad career, scored well in the prerequisite classes, received some notable status in research or other high ranked extracurriculars related to what you are studying and are going to study in the future, and of course recommendations from professors. OO ya, and the mundane MCAT score, forgot about that one...... LOL.... i should say thats another important factor (somewhat)</p>
