I am a freshman in college pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering. What is something engineering students think matters a lot, but really does not What is something they underestimate that ends up mattering more??

What major is recommended better for pre-med if I'm undecided? #spring26

I know I want to do something with medicine; however, not sure what major to pick. I have various interests and I'm a bit confused as to what major to select. Is it possible to do a double major without burning myself up if I also want to be involved with school clubs/organizations?
