[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some public universities accept a lot of AP credits so it might theoretically be possible. But otherwise I think it is very unlikely one can graduate in 4 years while doing both engineering and pre-med.

And as an aside, duel majoring in two very demanding majors is a very grim way to spend 18-22. [/quote]

Parents of premed engineers please take this thread with a grain of salt. DD is BME at a top school and about 75% of the BME students are premed. The rest are pre-phD. Orgo is listed as strongly encouraged and DD says all of them take it because advisors say not taking it as a BMe who might want phD will be a huge negative. I just looked up three other BME programs(two other T10 privates and GT). All strongly encourage orgo for all. All have a large percentage who go on to medical school.

The other high-premed engineer group at Ds school is biomolecular: orgo is required. So is quantum(materials does quantum too). Please. If your kid wants premed and engineering send them to a school where this is commonly done in 4 yrs. No one there thinks it is too hard or not possible. Peer motivation and faculty who are encouraging goes a long way toward being premed and being an engineer.

Thanks for the info! My kid starts at Georgia Tech in a few weeks as a BME major with the idea he may want to go to Med School, possibly.  It's nice to know it is possible. :)[/quote]
