nshah, I completely agree with your post. I got both of my EE degrees (BSE, MSE) to provide me with a good foundation because I really was not sure of what I wanted to do, but knew I could go any direction I decided to after obtaining this degree (got the Masters because work paid for it).

Now I have found what I want to do, which is goto Med school (similar to what the threadstarter wants to do), I just didn’t know if I had the motivation for the schooling. However, after working 3 years in industry doing a job that really doesn’t interest me, I’m willing to put up with the extra schooling.

To the threadstarter: All you need to do is take an additional year on top of what your Engineering degree will require and take the prereqs for med school (something that I will be doing next year). You should be set with the MCAT after your engineering education (except for the verbal portion, you may need to study for that).
