I did have it in mind when I choose my major: Physics. I figured I could go knock out the prereqs as science electives. However, I could go to graduate school and study Engineering or graduate Physics--possibly being a Dosimetrist. That is, if Med School didn't work out for me. Ultimately, I was not completely sure what I wanted to do. One thing I do regret is not shadowing a Physician(s) earlier on in college because that would have cleared things up for quickly. However, I went to a school with no Engineering School.
Preferably, you might want to major in something that could give you an alternate career if Medicine doesn't work out for you. Engineering can be quite hard to keep >3.5, so I would be careful on that one.
However, I will say that you could go to grad school for another career as a back up depending on your UG major and taking the prereqs. That could be your back up. For example, my dad has admitted people with degrees in Chemistry into his University's Master in ChemE program before (My dad is a Professor of ChemE, btw).

Did you know you wanted to be a physician before choosing your major, during, or after?
