Any pre-med Engineers here??

I guess that goes to show your answer. They aren’t many and for a good reason. Not because they make bad pre-meds but because engineering is usually much to life-consuming considering that it isn’t going to be pursued as a career and that the insanely high standards to which a student has to compete would usually burn one out before med school even begins. Also getting an A is difficult. In my accelerated organic chem course only the top 10% got A’s. That was 11 kids. Sad. 20% got below C. After that almost every single pre-med but maybe one or 2 dropped. (Less than 10 remained before that so they caught on that maybe it wasn’t the best idea to do accelerated chem as a pre-med.)
