Would majoring in biomedical engineering be good or bad when it comes to being admitted to medical school?

I am interested in biomedical engineering and it seems like a good fall back if i decide against becoming a doctor but I have been told it's more important to prop up your GPA with an easier major for admission to medical school. Nobody has given me a straight answer about this. By the way I'm a junior in high school.

    Medical schools demand a really high GPA.

    With that being said an easy major DOESN'T translate into a high GPA. A major that you enjoy and want to do well in DOES!
