<p>My dd will be applying to Michigan (in-state) and wants to go to medical school. She is thinking about majoring in Biology, but is also considering Bio Medical Engineering. She is definitely in need of scholarships to make U of M a reality. Are there more scholarships available for women in engineering at Michigan, or is the scholarship availability about the same as if she was majoring in Biology? Thank you in advance for any help you can give!</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, I always see people here say DD or DS…what does that mean? something daugher something son? lol. As a woman in science and engineering, I believe she definitely has a leg up (especially if she decides to forgo medical school and go into industry). Most of the big engineering scholarships aren’t ones you apply for…they look for top candidates and if they select you, then you find out that you got it. Are her grades/test scores pretty good?</p>
<p>I have to laugh, because I’m pretty sure DD is Dear (or Darling) Daughter and DS is Dear (or Darling) Son. However, I’m not 100% sure, just going with it! My daughter has a 4.0 uw, and 32 ACT, with math and science being her highest scores. I think she would do great with Engineering, and I’m all about a back-up plan if med school doesn’t work out. Thanks for your info!</p>
<p>Any chance you guys will qualify for financial aid? Also, if she maintains a high GPA freshman year, I believe she will be eligible for more merit scholarships. I had a couple friends freshman year who did (unlike me since I bombed first semester lol). </p>
<p>I would check this out: [Scholarship</a> Opportunities | Michigan Engineering](<a href=“http://www.engin.umich.edu/students/scholarships/]Scholarship”>Scholarships & funding)</p>
<p>And try the “new students” section</p>
<p>Predator - thanks! We may be eligible for some financial aid, but not much.</p>
<p>I’m in the same pickle! I either want to double-major in some Bio field with an Econ major or just major in Bio-Med engineering.</p>
