This. I come from a world of both engineering and medicine as this was my major and I can easily say that if I were ranking the four it would go in this order Med school > BME> Engineering> Premed.

Premed is basically taking all the same basic classes as most engineering students with more life science and chem involved. Engineering is all problem solving so if you get the concepts and have good teachers its doable. However, you can still shite the bed in several engineering courses and walk out with a good grade. However for what I studied it was probably one of the most hardest majors to complete because you're getting hit from both sides and the BME classes are fricking miserable. Quantitative Physiology and some of the other shite we took was worst than anything most engineering or pre med students would take. And while we had it bad med school is even worst. Everything is more specific and more memorization.

BME is an interesting field and I love what I do but I wouldn't advise it to all. There is a reason why people who major in this have had the highest MCAT across all majors.....
