I would be shocked if they did not consider the major along with the gpa. In this situation, I would take the advice of my advisor who told me it is always better to make a conservative decision when it comes to your education. ChemE will by far leave you better off if you do not happen to make it to med school or if med school just doesn’t end up being what you truly want to do. There are many research areas in ChemE that can be health related, especially biomaterials. If you come through the 4 years with a good engineering gpa (around 3.5 and above) I would imagine that it would very impressive to a med school too.
