Which is harder? Engineering, Med School, or Law School

Just getting a BS in engineering seems like the most difficult thing, I think I'd kill myself before going for a masters in engineering.
Don't know much about Med or Law. Just that there are always a bunch of chicks stressing over Med and Law is just a bunch of reading and memorizing.
fwiw I'm not in any of these fields

My guess would be med school for the sheer volume and interconnected information required.

I only did engineering idk about the rest
Civil was not hard

As a licensed PE,
at that notion. Med school is so much harder than getting a BS in any engineering discipline. It's not close.
ETA: A downvote?

2 of the 3 they just call it a practice. so........

One of these professions require you to constantly innovate in short amounts of time due to sheer competition. The other are mostly based off of past or present practices.
I'll let you guess which one im talking about.

The actual content of medical school isn't that difficult - it's simply the volume of the material that presents a challenge.
Graduate level engineering courses would likely present the greatest difficulty in terms of the actual content.

I'm a PE and had a 3.5 undergrad in civil. I am not that smart.
I gotta assume the other 2 are harder.

It's probably partially relative, as I know some engineering folks who would have trouble with law school or certain legal fields.
But I suspect there is more crossover with engineering/STEM minds going to law school than the opposite.
I certainly could not cross over. So I'd say 1) Med 2) Engineering 3) Law
But there are a lot of variables. School, type of program, attributes of student, etc.

My impression, Med School far and away
Posted on 3/22/17 at 11:24 am to philly444
Med school. Four years of med school and 3 to 7 years of residency. That's a lot of time.

I've always heard that Engineering is the most difficult undergrad degree, specifically Chemical Engineering.
I would have to imagine that specializing in surgeries would be pretty difficult, so I'd have to say Med School for the graduate level degrees.
Rocket surgery > brain science

who cares Engineers, Doctors and Lawyers are the only true Professionals.

This is what can either make law school the easiest or arguably the most difficult because it really does depend on how much the student puts into it.

Currently in Med school. Like others have said, it isn't necessarily the complexity of the material that is challenging. It's the massive amount of information you must digest in such a short amount of time, then be able to integrate all that information.
As our dean of students often says, "it's like trying to drink from a fire hydrant."

Completely different things. Some people are good at math (engineering) or bulk memorization (medical school) or logic and presentation skills (law). Most are only good at one or two. So saying one is harder is tough. Though I'd say medical school is the most rigorous of the three types of programs. It's the hardest to get into and the hardest to graduate in of the three, plus it requires the longest term (4 years undergrad plus 4 years medical school)

I'm putting in a decent 25-30 hours a week on top of class and seem to be doing okay. I don't know if I can keep that pace up, though. This shite is really boring.

2 of these involve a frick ton of debt

Well and the type of student. My mind is set up for this type of work. I'm not saying it can't be achieved if its not innate, but law "fits" with how I think more so than my STEM minded friends.
Meanwhile, I was a shite student in science and math. I could work hard and do pretty well, but it was far from natural.

Mrs. TLC has an undergrad in engineering and is an MD. Med school was, without a doubt, more challenging. And residency makes med school look like childs play.
The first 2 years of med school are reading and memorizing, after you start clinical work though it becomes much more about problem solving. And having to deal with patients, parents, nurses, other drs....
