[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An engineering degree gets you some technical chops clout. Shows you can do higher order math and analysis then if you were just a business major. Two friends are top finance guys in NYC making crazy money. They have masters in engineering disciplines and did that before getting MBAs and going into finance. [/quote]

Also, engineering major and then pivoting to med school will give you advantages.  If you can maintain a high gpa with engineering major, you will most likely do exceedingly well in med school.  Engineering majors are some of the most difficult undergrad majors, it teaches critical thinking and analysis. You can apply this to any job and employers know that[/quote]
In my opinion you need different skills set for engineering and medicine.  Engineering requires very little memorization and medicine is a lot of memorization followed by regurgitation.[/quote]

A BME or ChemE undergrad is a very strong applicant to Medical school.  They have taken most of the Med school prerequisites as part of their major, plus more advanced science courses.  You have memorization skills as well as application.  If you can do a ChemE/BME and maintain a 3.85+ I believe you will go far in medical school.
