Put my mind to ease- Premed with Engineering?

Many moons ago when I was on college, the pre-med majors at my college were typically philosophy majors. Why? The philosophy major was easy and you could then pick and choose which classes to take. There was no pre-med major at that college. Any other major, like biology, included tough required classes that weren’t needed for pre-med. Those pre-med guys were quite conscious of their GPAs.
