I am a Michigan State University Family Practice Residency Program Director, and would be happy to advise in more detail off line. I will suggest that you complete your masters in Biomedical engineering first prior to Medical School. Once you have completed medical school and residency you will be too busy to go back to engineering. Your student loans will need to be paid, and this will quickly change your mind regarding a second education. Your undergrad choice of classes need careful consideration to balance engineering prerequisites and premed.
My daughter has the same interest as you, but she has one more year to consider the choices. I can contact you if you wish or you are welcome to call me at the hospital at 810-606-5983. Hope this helps, Ken

I was wondering if there is any advice anyone can give me about grades, classes to take, and good schools to go to for this. I have already looked at Vanderbilt and Northwestern. Thanks!
