Vandy Engineering + Premed Major Advice

Any engineering/CS major will reduce you likelihood of getting into medical school. I certainly know a few who have done it, and they are good physicians, but engineering is hard. Superstars in HS are often brought to their knees GPA wise. At several schools where it’s highly competitive to get in, average graduating GPAs are below 3.0. The hardest course for a chemistry major (Physical Chemistry) will be an average course for most engineers. You might do fine, and engineering might not be as tough at Vandy as elsewhere, although I doubt that, but it will make your path more challenging if you choose engineering. Good luck and congrats!
