so i take it u are in ur last year at university doing the engineering course yes? if not no point thinking about it until u are last year.
If you are predicted a 2:1 or 1st u may apply to some unis (as engin is not a bio-chemical course only a few unis will look at u, so before u apply have a look at their requirements)

Some unis like it, others don't.

Sheffield find that course-jumping to be, in their own words, "undesirable".

Brighton and Peninsula Med. School have no problems with it, though. And, I did phone them up to find out, out of curiosity. :tongue:

I did it for veterinary medicine (I just wanted to have some certainty). I applied last year when I was in my second year, got accepted and deferred my entry, which enables me to finish my current (Pre-medicine) course. But then again, they may have looked differently at my case because I am studying in the Netherlands at the moment. Good luck though!
