Okay, so I’m a senior in high school, but my dream is to get into med school at UCSF, attend a 3 year residency and a 1 year fellowship, then take my exams and become a cardiothoracic anesthesiologist. However, with the majority of med schools having a 2-8% acceptance rate, getting in is MUCH harder than it seems. So let’s say that I don’t get in. There isn’t much work that you can find as a regular biology major. So in the event that I don’t get in, which major has all the premed required classes, pays around 60k and up and has an abundance of job opportunities. I have been think VERY hard about majoring in BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING. However, I hear that the rigour of that class is EXTREMELY difficult and can bring down your gpa. And we all know how important a gpa is in getting into med school. So I would appreciate it if any of you could help me out.
