@CuroHeights, that last statement is simply not true. UCLA has a well respected program.
Now onto the bigger issue, it really sounds like you are being advised poorly. If medical school is your top priority, engineering of any kind is a poor choice. It’s very hard to get a high GPA no matter where you go and you’ll have to take LOTS of classes outside the engineering curriculum to get the prerequisites.
This is very common fir parents to overly direct their kids to, knowingly or not, make themselves happy. I say that because if YOU don’t like your career, there’s no amount of money that will compensate for the dread of going to work everyday.
I also worry that you and your parents are planning around failure rather than success (go to the school where you perceive GPA will be easier, choose engineering as a backup to medical school, etc.). It’s really YOUR time, time for YOU to decide what you want to do with your life.
Good luck!
