You're good to go.
Make sure, if you REALLY REALLY want to go to BME, that you prove it to them and that you want to get into that program. That's my advice.

How do I do that. I wrote an essay on research and another one on inventing, but that is about it.
Does anybody know how difficult it is to get into BME?

Anybody know about scholarships? It'd be nice to get one from JHU, but they seem pretty rare.

Merit-based scholarships are rare but available. All decisions about scholarships are made during regular decision. Here is a whole description of these awards...
