Med schools don’t really care which major your coming from as long as you finish your prereqs, so doing engineering over bio won’t give you an advantage in matriculating. However, people choose bio because, like other college students, they are genuinely interested in biology. It’s like asking why Art History majors choose it? It’s interesting to them, despite it’s poor potential in earnings.</p>

Again, I guess if salary is all you are looking for, engineering isn’t a bad choice. But know that there are very capable people that would excel academically in engineering but simply choose not to because it does not fall in their realm of interest. Even I think of these people (my friends who are ridiculously bright individuals) as wasted potential, but whatever makes them happy</p>
