getting into med school

Hi,
I am a senior in HS.
My dream is to get into MEd school
I am confused about what I shold take in undergrad to increase my chance.
I got into Biomed Engineering in Top 10 univ.I have heard it is very hard to get a good GPA in this-should I take Biological sciences?

Keep in mind that you are admitted based on overall GPA and MCAT as the main factors for med school. Major does not matter as they are people applying from many different backgrounds. Do BME if you have an interest in the major, otherwise, don't suffer through an engineering curriculum, its very unforgiving for those who aren't fully interested in it.

At my school, a HUGE amount of people are in Bio. Most want to be doctors. I do know people that are in Psych that are gonna take classes to fill the med school requirements for application!

Do whatever you will do well in. If you will fail at being a BME, don't do it. If you will breeze by as a chem major, do it.
