You cant go wrong either way!

However, I have a friend who has been a part of the BME program for a year and I’ll share some of his insights.

1. BME students are part of an exclusive cohort.

2. Not too sure about WashU, but my friend in BME got research as a freshman so if you’re interested, the research opportunities early on are a huge plus!!!

3. The people are also extremely nice at JHU, and while it is competitive, it will shape you into a better person. You will be around tomorrow’s leaders in robotic surgery, Biotech, etc.

4. He says that he has to work extremely hard for a high GPA, but he’s also double majoring so…

TLDR: If you’re excited about BME, and are ready to put in the work, it will be extremely rewarding. While WashU’s premed is spectacular, BME is a niche program and is - in my eyes - as prestigious as the ivies, if not more.
