What would happen if that happened? Thinking about switching form biochem to bio engineering. is it possible for an acceptance to be deferred?
Why would you change your major after you're accepted, especially to a major that won't allow you to go to med school? Do you want to be a doctor or not?What would happen if that happened? Thinking about switching form biochem to bio engineering. is it possible for an acceptance to be deferred?

99% of the people on sdn are digitally slapping you in the face.
No I have not been accepted yet. I'm thinking of switching now before I apply, and still apply at the same time with a small chance of actually finishing the requirements for the new major on time. I just think the engineering degree will be more useful.

+1Then don't apply.

Some schools permit deferral and some don't. Of those that do, some permit it only with an extremely compelling reason, but others are more open to it. The MSAR will tell you what schools are willing to consider deferral, but a phone call might be necessary to find out if acquiring permisssion at a given school is easy or difficult, and what the current petition procedure might be.

That's why they have applications every year. You apply when you're ready to go to med school.

Aren't acceptances contingent on you having a degree by the time for applied matriculation?
Right... but you are initially applying for matriculation for the upcoming year? Either way, I agree, it's a ridiculous idea.Yeah but you can maybe defer before matriculation.
With that said, I don't understand why you would want to defer to finish a useless degree that you will NEVER need again in your life, when you can just finish the original useless degree in time. Trust me, your major is absolutely useless unless you worked in that field for some time (read: years) and that somehow translated into making you a better scientist or clinician.
