Pre med and Electrical engineering major ?

I am a Freshman in college. I am thinking about pre med but dont know yet. Should i change my major to something science related? How hard would it be to finish in 4 years?Pre med and Electrical engineering major ?
A buddy of mine was an EE and it gave him the discipline to go on to med school without a hitch. I believe he did it in 5 years, but you should major in whatever you like, the science cores are the same for all premeds and admissions boards don't care what your major is. So long as you get high marks, you'll be fine even if you major in soup making.Pre med and Electrical engineering major ?
there is not much overlapping material between the two subjects.



keep in mind that your initial B.Sc. degree should be something that can get you work just in case med school plans have a snag.



from what little I have seen of electrical engineers they are an unhappy lot. They get transferred or downsized probably more than other engineers.



Chemical Engineering would have more overlap and you could get a job as a chemist (analytical chemisty is usually always hot) as a back up plan.



Engineering is tough, and at least at public universities, they have weed out classes where they have a 1 or 2 semester class but put in about 6 semester hours of work, skip chapters, and have the books come in late.



The best of the best engineering field is mechanical. But unless its in your blood I would not try it. Somepeople pick majors based on the money outlook without considering if they are interested in the subject.



A major in Chemistry with minors in biology and math would be the ideal science major at most colleges.
