For those wanting to go through engineering...at my school you have to take an assload of leveling courses. They have an easier program through the physics department where you do 5 years and get a physics degree w/premed. Chemical engineering is a good bet. Material science and engineering is rather "easy" as far as engineering goes (along w/civil and industrial) and you have to take a few more chem courses that would perhaps transfer over. Biomaterial science and Engineering is a good bet as well. Both degrees pay very well regardless if you want to go to Med. School or not.
