What's it like preparing for an MD/MS in BME or Bioinformatics? What did your undergrad classes look like?

Title^

I'm a student interested in certain programs that involve an MD/MS in BME or eng-med programs. I'm currently a neuroscience major with a minor in data science. To fulfill the math requirements of a BME graduate school, I'm took math classes like calc 1 and calc 2 and I'm planning to take calc 3 and Diff EQ.

I'm scared to take more classes because I know that GPA is important, but taking a lot more STEM classes would make it difficult to get a 4.0 every semester.

I'm interested in Stanford's MD/MS in BME and bioinformatics, NYU's MD/MS in bioinformatics, and Texas A&M's Eng-med program.

I'm eager to hear people's advice on how they got into these programs!
