"Scientist" usually means research scientist. If that is what you want to be, there is no reason to study engineering. You will need to go on to graduate school after you get your BS. The first two years are about the same for all three BS degrees, but after that, there is a big difference between physics and chemistry programs, so you will have to make a choice.

Not everybody is cut out to be a researcher-- it is far easier to get a job with a BS in engineering than in physics. BS chemists can get jobs in laboratories, but they mostly run the same tests over and over .

Why is AP chemistry important to study medicine?

The courses required for a premed undergraduate include two semesters of chemistry and two semesters of organic chemistry. The solid chemistry background that AP chemistry can provide is therefore helpful, although not absolutely necessary, in studying medicine. Chemistry is especially important to medicine because much of the field focuses on identifying, studying, and trying to control chemical reactions and conditions within the body.
