Biomedical Engineering for Pre-med?

@mom2collegekids

You mention in another thread that you’ve “heard” that being a biomedE major is an “edge” when applying to med schools. That’s not true…at all.</p>

<p>I know that there are kids out there that think biomedE sounds sexy and that med schools will accept you because you’re going to develop some amazing cure…but that’s not true. First of all, undergrad BiomedE is almost a misnomer. BiomedE undergrad majors aren’t doing medical work. They’re not more prepared for med school. </p>

<p>do not major in biomedE just because you think it will impress med schools…it won’t.

<p>oh okay the article i saw said that studying engineering along side pre-med classes gives u and edge in the technological sense. like u can cope with the fast advancing medical tech faster than most others since u actually understand wats going on</p>
