which course is easier to get in to? Engineering or medicine.

Engineering is ALOT easier because:
-No entry exams
-little or No Work experience required
-Entry requirements MUCH LOWER

I know people who have offers for engineering like CCD or CCC
i also know ppl who applied for medicine with 4A* and got all rejections

Not at the top

eg
Cambridge STEP offers
ICL A*A*A offers

Medicine offers are easy (highest is A*AA with many being 3A), as is the BMAT compared to STEP

but I agree, medicine is harder to get into overall

i want to be a Doctor, but theres just too much to do in terms of work experience and whatnot. I also like Maths so engineering is cool but i still want to be a Doctor more. so which one is a better and 'easier to get into' course?

Far easier to get into Engineering, but is an extremely intense degree. I had more work in first year than a mate who was a medic.

Medicine will get you more respect and possibly more money (if that's vital to you).

Engineers have saved more lives than doctors. Without the equipment (Mechanical), buildings (Civil) etc... doctors couldn't do the job they do. Try and find a doctor with the knowledge to build a life-support machine.

Either one is a great choice.

yes, there are one or two exceptions
but i still think bmat is much harder,

which is better the red bubblegum or the blue one ?????????
Another stupid question....honestly if your asking this question, you should probably go for engineering mate!

If you're looking to cut corners and take the easiest route then I'm not sure that either profession would be suited to you. I don't think the accredited bodies of the respective professions would take kindly to that attitude.

In answer to the original question then medicine would be the harder to get into simply because of the competition and demand for places.

I'm a GP and my son is applying to do engineering this year. I'd agree with those saying medicine is harder to get into, due to the level of competition, but engineering is the harder degree.
Many prospective medics can't get work experience in hospitals and GP surgeries and admissions offices know that. Doing voluntary work with the elderly or people with disabilities or in care homes is fairly easy though. Asking a local GP if they could spare half an hour to discuss what being a GP is like is fairly easy. In many ways the hardest bit of medicine is getting in. Then you just have a huge workload. That isn't difficult as there are no difficult concepts to grasp like in maths and physics based courses, just loads of stuff to remember.
The work as a doctor is very stressful, because you see moany, ill unhappy people all day (unless you're a radiologist or pathologist or similar). Engineers can work in a more cheerful environment.
Having said that my husband is an engineer and moans more about his job than i do mine because there seem to be alot of managers in engineering who can't manage people and just want to inflate their egos. You can largely ignore managers as a consultant or GP, they are there in the background changing things and giving you hoops to jump through but not in your face as much.
My mech eng father though loved his job.
Think of the type of job you want to do, although I think many people would be happy in a variety of jobs. There are medical engineering jobs that produce medical devices.
