[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a pre-med, not engineering, just curious, is goal to have a good backup career option or real interest in both and torn? [/quote]

I do believe that's what OP was thinking/asking before this thread got hijacked. The path to becoming a doctor is so difficult, OP is thinking working as an engineer if becoming a doctor is unattainable. [/quote]

Yep.[/quote]

Well, to answer from my kid’s experience. It’s not a common option at my kid’s Ivy, but school also isn’t known for engineering. That being said, probably one of the easier to make it work though for that reason.

Premed is such a challenging path with so much required outside of difficult classwork. Engineering seems similar in that project teams are such a big deal it seems? It would be very difficult I’d presume [b]and probably guarantee gap years to get required hours completed would be my guess, [/b]but I understand the thought process. It’s just difficult to go all-in as needed and choose another difficult major without a lot of overlap in classes or requirements. [/quote]
However it seems, it does not require gap years any more often than non-engineers provided they are BME or some other subfield with a lot of overlap. Gap years are not more common for premed engineers at my alma mater or my kid’s (different) elite school.[/quote]
