I was debating with my roommate. Engineers have to do more calc, physics, statics, and thermodynamics, but pre med students have to do all kinds of biological shite and they still might not get into med school which is tough.

Are you asking premed (bio/biochem?) or actual medical school?

Is this real life?

If talking about just premed, yeah engineering is probably harder.

Medical school is WAY harder than engineering

Which engineering? To get a doctorate?

In general, med school. But you have to be more specific.

You act like engineering is the hardest undergrad. That's not at all obvious.

Yeah, the hours are insane. No way I'd have the will power to do all that.

Well, my brother got an engineering career with an undergrad degree where I had to got to 4 more years of school post grad then several more of residency.

What do you think?

They're both hard. They take many of the same initial classes (chem 1&2, phys 1&2, calc), then they diverge. After this point they're hard in different ways. Engineering you have to solve problems and figure things out. Pre med you have to understand processes and complex relationships.

It all depends on how your mind works. Some find one harder, some find the other harder.

I had several chem and elec engineering majors in my med school class.

Now if we're comparing engineering to med school, med school is harder hands down. Even my engineering classmates said so.

I also had a lawyer in my med school class and he said law school was easy compared to med school.
