Hello. I’m a high school to-be senior (Class of 2015)

I have questions about going into med schools.
My counselor and college adviser at school said if I wanted to get into a good med school after undergrad studies, it is better that I DO NOT take pre-med for undergrad major, and for example Engineering would be a good major to study instead, because med schools would want students with more open view/ knowledge instead of just focusing on medical studies for all of undegrad+grad studies.
.
But I also heard on CC that you must have a high pre-med GPA in order to get into a good med school plus a quality research.

Can I hear stories from people who have gone/ is attending medical schools?
I would of course appreciate any information from non-med students too! :D
