<p>Lets be honest, if you get trying to get med school, your fallback plan is not going to be engineering. Most likely it will be Research. If you were shooting for Med school, chances are you pictured your self saving lives and doing biology when you were little, not building interstates and bridges. Your safety career most likely wasnt engineering.</p>
<p>So if you dont get into med school, you are stuck going to grad school for your Ph.D and academic research. Most researchers are NOT American post-docs. Take a stroll around any top 20 University research labs. The majority of researchers are immigrants from Russia, Japan, Taiwan, China, and India. This suggests that Research is very unappealing to smart American Ph.D’s from top schools.</p>
<p>Lets be honest, if you dont get into med school with a biology degree, you are sincerely screwed.</p>
