Here's the dilemma:
To make things clear, I do not wish to be an Aerospace Engineering major. However, I do not want to transfer out of my university and was denied a major transfer within my school. Thus, since I'm determined to apply to medical school, my only option seems to be both Aerospace Engineering and premed. This is very intimidating to me for a few reasons.

- First, GPA-wise, the Aerospace classes at my school seem quite difficult. While most people pass, many classes don't give out a single A making it a terrible major for anyone trying to go for further schooling. Aerospace is one of the most pre-industrial majors out there, so I guess most people don't really mind that the highest possible grade for many classes is a B.
- I feel like it adds something super random to my profile and removes it from my attempts to make my eventual medical school application as cohesive as possible.
- Aerospace Engineering will definitely take up a lot of time. I will inevitably have less time for ECs.
- I can't see any reasonable connection for me to use this kind of knowledge in the future other than the "engineering" aspect of it. None of the aerospace engineering-specific classes seem too useful or interesting at all to me. For instance, taking classes like mechanics of solids or spacecraft dynamics seem totally irrelevant.
