I’ll be going to college next March, and I’m working to finalize my college lists. I’m quite sure that I want to major in BME, but I’m also thinking of having a Computer Science minor or a different humanities minor. However, I’m hearing a lot of different opinions from people around me about which school would be best, and I would really appreciate some help! Right now, I’m thinking about applying to,
Johns Hopkins(ED)
U of Michigan(EA)
MIT(EA)
Columbia
Brown
Duke
UC Berkeley
UCSD
UCLA
Rice
Carnegie Mellon
I’m looking for a school that has a strong engineering program(Especially in BME) and a lot of research opportunities, but also one that offers a lot of humanities courses. Would those colleges be a good match? Any other suggestions?
