One thing to keep in mind while going for CS or engineering majors. CS is not challenging, however, it is very time consuming. The great amount of time is required of novice programmer to debug the software written by them. Engineering is the toughest major out there, period. One will have to work extremely hard (much harder than other pre-meds who work very hard anyway) to achive a high GPA. How do I know? I have done both and have a good amount of job experience in both (but I was never a pre-med). In addition, I am aware how challenging is just regular Bio major based pre-med (D. went thru that). Not sure if combining CS + pre-med or engineering + pre-med is a good idea, but it has been done successfully. So, you have to assess your time managing skills and keep in mind about all the pre-med ECs. While it is possible to pursue ECs during summer, many (including my D.) are unable to do so due to the lack of spots in the summer. D. was forced to participate in all of her pre-med ECs at her college during school year (on top of her job, couple minors,…), but she was not in CS or engineering. So, assess your time managing skills very carefully, your body still require certain number of sleeping hours, despite of the fact that some pre-meds do not think so. These get burned a bit faster than others.
