Some background information:

I am currently about to start my 3rd year of engineering school. My specific major is Civil Engineering. My current CGPA is 3.35 and my “in-major” GPA is a 3.875; this is all the classes that pertained to my major. Some high school information; I graduated a year early (16 y/o) with a 4.00 CGPA (weighted). I am currently 20 y/o and have a new passion for the field of medicine. I just ordered my MCAT study guide and seem to be doing well in all the topics.

I want to apply to Harvard Med School and the rest of the Ivy Leagues (plus some private/public schools as well; but I want to finish my Masters in Engineering first.

What can I do to better my chances of getting in? Yes I know my GPA is below average of what they want. I see my Masters will fix most of that. A lot of people have this ambition to join an Ivy League, and I guess I am another one of the endless many who wish, but I will work myself to death if I have to.

Wishful thinking? Yes.
