<p>OP: Go back to basics, as there is a surprising amount of bad information in this thread-e.g. there is no “law” major at any reputable college in the US. And your teacher is giving you bad info-there’s little advantage for engineering. If you like chemistry and do well at it, go with your strength and your interest; you’ll do much better in your classes with that connection. And all US medical schools are “good”; if you get to college and have a 3.9 with a way high MCAT, then focus on big name schools if that’s what you want. Right now, the goal is to get into any medical school. You can adjust your sights along the way, as you take the required courses and do the research and participate in the ECs, etc.</p>
