Nexus777 said:I have an several engineering friends who had far lower GPAs than their compatriot applicants and got into top 10 schools. One had 7 Cs on his transcript - Harvard. Another had a C and also Harvard. Another with a 3.2 science and 3.4 overall - Duke. These schools will recognize the engineering major. They didn't do anything else extraordinary, and their MCATs were mid 30s. I should warn you that they went to good engineering undergrads though, so you should weigh that with your undergrad school.
Can some of you engineering majors (from UIUC or other good engineering schools) give your experiences? I always thought it would be really hard to get into med school being an engineer since its so hard to get good grades? I'm a computer engineering major at UIUC...
What do u guys think?
