I took some bio classes while I was at UT, it does not seem very challenging, it was much easier than my high school biology. So I wouldn’t get a Biology degree alone, because I think your options will be very limited if you do not get into med school. On the other hand, I do know people (DSer) who do a biology BA degree, because it’s easy and help boost their GPA for med school. However, he was a very strong student and expected a high MCAT score. I also know tons of pre-med over-estimating s/he ability and go for an easy major, get dinged from med school, and are now 1) jobless, 2) going back to grad school to figure out what s/he wants to do.
I’m of the opinion that I go to school to learn and be challenged. I rather take a lower GPA than be bored. Plus, if you don’t get accepted to med school as engineer, you can always get a job. Plus, engineering isn’t as hard as everyone puts it out to be. If you are good at math and logic, you’ll breeze through it.
