Are there people who do MechE and…

…end up getting into med school? yes
…also minor in an unrelated subject? yes.
…also continue a performance art? yes

Are you one of them? no way for us to be able to answer that. Questions to ask yourself:

Why Mech E + Med school? are you looking at BME?

What is important about "minoring" in Psych, vs taking some psych classes?

At what level do you want to continue with cello? there is a big difference between being in the orchestra, and making a quartet with some friends.

Med school admissions cuts starts with GPA & MCAT. Engineering GPAs tend to be lower than average (for example, at UCB, the average MechE GPA is a 3.36). For Med school admissions the average GPAs are: 3.64 in science subjects, 3.79 in non-science subjects, and a 3.71 CGPA. Will you be somebody who is leading the curve as an engineering student?
