Biomedical Engineering- Is this right for me?

At the college I went to, the BME major minimum college STEM GPA for non-direct admits to transfer into that major sophomore year and for direct admits to not get kicked out of the BME program after freshman year is high compared to the other engineering majors at my school. Even prospective and first year BME majors with high scores in standardized testing at my school would be getting that “good luck” reaction.

Unless my school’s situation is unique (like maybe BME major isn’t that hard to get into compared to other engineering majors at other colleges but my college might have a particularly selective BME program), the BME major might be one of the hardest engineering majors to get into, so the question here might be not just whether or not you can do engineering but also whether or not you can do BME instead of another less selective engineering major. And depending on what you want to do in the BME field, it may be more preferable for you to do a EE, CMPE, or ME major anyways (for example, I read somewhere that some medical device companies actually prefer hiring EE/ME majors over BME majors because EE/ME is more specialized).
