Ok so here's the deal. I am currently a senior in an Ivy League school majoring in Chemical Engineering. I will be graduating in just a few days, and the finality is finally starting to hit me. I think I screwed up...royally. I have an offer for a Masters in engineering with plans to enter industry after that, but I realized that all the things that I look for in a career- interesting work, lucrative, the ability to make a difference, prestigious- are all things that physicians posses. Instead of choosing the biology-into-premed path, which my school does well with, I chose chemical engineering, a subject which my school has no recruitment.
Anyways, it seems to me that premed was the right choice. What are my options for entering (a good) medical program? Should I take a few years to complete the classes that I haven't taken (all biology, I've taken orgo and physics)? How do I get recommendations? Has anyone been in the same boat? Any input is appreciated.
More background information- I have a 3.76 GPA, similar cumulative and science. I have 2 years+ of research experience, but the only bio/med related research was all the way back in high school. And I'm Asian.
