Hey y’all,

I was recently accepted to the PLTW program in school for my freshman year, starting in the fall, and I was needed some advice regarding this. I aspire to become a doctor one day, and I thought that this program would allow me to gain some critical thinking skills, and give me a chance to apply my math and science skills in “real world situations”. The program that I one day hope to enter is the Northwestern University/Feinberg Medical School HPME, (or the Brown University PLME) and go that route for my M.D. I was wondering however, since engineering isn’t extremely close or related, really, to medicine, if taking part in the program will raise an eyebrow. Thanks for all your replies in advance

EDIT: I’m thinking about doing Biomedical Engineering MAYBE in undergrad. Also, I would have to take up an elective every year in high school to take part in this program. However, my high school is great in helping kids take part in everything that we desire, so I’m hoping that they can help me with this situation. I want to take Orchestra and Choir.
