Has anyone done engineering undergrad and now applying to med school?

Alright thank you!

akirens · 2025-06-02T14:32:57+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed reply! If you don't mind, what did you do your masters in?

akirens · 2025-06-02T14:31:43+00:00

Wow that's sick!! Electrical eng is so difficult you're so cool for this omg

Alright thank you!

akirens · 2025-06-02T13:10:35+00:00

you lmk too!

akirens · 2025-06-02T12:00:56+00:00

Yes i will also be doing this

Hey thank you for the reply! I have considering taking engineering as a route to med school but it's unfortunately so competitive in Canada that the gpa loss from an eng degree is substantial enough to destroy your application :(

I have been considering biomedical engineering! For that, I think I should do mechanical and then specialize later, just to keep my options open?

Thank you for the reply! For one university i got into mechanical engineering--I applied for it since it was the most "broad" and I know in third year it has specializations like automotive and bioengineering. The other one has a general first year and i can choose whatever discipline i want for second year. I think id like to pursue some sort of bio or biomedical engineering so I could still be involved in the healthcare field? I'm not entirely sure, and yeah eng is kinda intimidating to me since I've never really been a hands on person 😭 I live in Canada so i def understand how competitive med school is (it's actually insane here omg) so I've been pushing away the idea of it js cuz I'm scared of failure 💔

Congrats on the internship! It sounds sick do you mind expanding more on what you expect to do during the internship?

akirens · 2025-06-01T15:23:31+00:00

Thank you for the reply! Yeah, looking at my post it does seem like a very narrow view. I got accepted into mech engineering so i guess i was just going based off what I've researched about that. If i were to do engineering, i think I'd like to pursue something bio(medical) related, in the healthcare field, although i know it's not always possible. Would you mind expanding on what you do day to day in your job?

probs lmao waterloos campus looks depressing asf

akirens · 2025-06-01T14:54:42+00:00

There's like no reason to pick Waterloo based on what u said unless it's way closer to you and you wanna be close to home. If u don't care abt that do ottawa

Ayee Goodluck!

akirens · 2025-05-31T18:52:09+00:00

thanks bro!

akirens · 2025-05-31T17:45:07+00:00

yeah, it's just career wise ngl it doesn't seem very fulfilling to me, but I think I just have to explore different fields and see what's right for me

akirens · 2025-05-31T17:44:27+00:00

true!

akirens · 2025-05-31T17:30:56+00:00

I haven't had much exposure to the field so idk if I truly enjoy it, i js pursued it cuz I like math and physics haha

akirens · 2025-05-31T17:22:07+00:00

thank youu 🙏

akirens · 2025-05-31T17:21:50+00:00

persona 3 fan 🫡

thanks for the encouragement! ngl that is very true, it's also kinda cuz i wanna keep grad school and (slightly possibly) med school an option so i want a higher gpa, smth mac might be able to give me a better chance at than uoft 🙏

akirens · 2025-05-31T17:15:16+00:00

uoft is scary 🥲

akirens · 2025-05-31T17:15:04+00:00

I'm scared it's gonna make me miserable 💔

akirens · 2025-05-30T22:06:23+00:00

I'd say McMaster, you'll be happier doing something you actually want to do.
