Graduate engineer going to medical school?

[engineetor]

Hi all,

I'm currently a M.S student within Mechanical Engineering, specifically studying Biomedical thermal-fluid applications. After finishing my degree, I want to apply to Medical School.

My question is whether medical schools allow "substitutes" for course requirements. I have the Organic 1/2, Physics and Math requirements from undergraduate but have not taken the labs or molecular biology classes. However, I have taken graduate level BME courses (Biomedical sensors, systems).

Finally, while my UG gpa isn't too hot (3.3ish) my graduate GPA is stellar.

How will this affect the admission landscape?

Make sure you're well prepared for the MCAT.

I'm so Jealous... I will be 28 by the time I applied to med school and have a 3.18 in Biomedical Engineering and a not so hot 3.45 GPA in my MS so.... just saying you don't have it that bad.
