How do you determine whether you are doctor material?

I would first worry about what you want to major in, then setting yourself up for med school in college. No college will prepare you best for any certain specialty while you are an undergrad.

Yes, engineering tends to be difficult by itself even before adding in things like “pre-med”, but you wouldn’t be the first to have done it successfully. Engineering may not be very flexible, like you said, so you may have to plan on extra time to fit in all the classes you want/need. If you are more interested in aerospace engineering than medicine (I don’t think this is what you’re saying) there’s nothing wrong with being an aerospace engineer, either.
