Engineering Major to Medical School?

[Meredith Rice]

I was visiting the University of Delaware recently and I talked to a graduated senior there who majored in Chem E and minored in Biomedical. She was a wonderful resource to me becuase I am interested in pursuing the same degree. She told me how she had always wanted to pursue her M.D. but she is working with Merck now before she goes to medical school just to keep her options open. I think it is a great idea. Engineering is a great way of thinking and tool for people of all professions. I am going to study chemical engineering rather than chemistry for this reason. I know I will have many options with and engineering degree and medical school is one of them.
