I'm currently studying biomedical engineering and management of technology at Vanderbilt University. Here, everyone has to fulfill CPLE classes (Core Program for a Liberal Education.) It's their way of making sure that once everyone gets out of here, they won't just be well-versed in one subject. I also am pre-med, but the only changes that apply to me are taking a writing course and organic chemistry. Those, however, will fulfill some of my CPLE requirements so I'm not going to have so called 'extra hours.' And from what i have been told, it's an advantage to have an engineering degree and apply to medical school because it does show you are well rounded. I know here at our medical school the acceptance rate for engineers vs. just pre meds is higher. . . . hope that helps a little
