Hey, I got my B.S. in Chemical engineering and now I’m a 3rd year medical student.

IMO, doing engineering as your undergraduate major gives you the best opportunities. I did 3 internships in college in the food and gas industries and earned a lot of money. When I interviewed for med school, a lot of administrators were intrigued by the fact that I choose medicine over engineering.

Either do biomedical or chemical engineering. The study habits you learn in engineering will prepare you well for med school.

I plan to apply for orthopaedic surgery residency and having a background in engineering is actually carries some weight, so studying chem eng was the best decision i ever made.

Also, I not a ■■■■■ or anything like that. I saw your question pop up when i was looking up chem eng stuff. Regardless of what degree path you choose, just work hard and try your best.

Cheers
