Biomedical Engineering- Is this right for me?

Hello, I am currently a senior in high school and just put in my applications with an intended major in biomedical engineering. The minute I heard about the major, I had an instant fascination with the designing of prosthesis. For the next couple months, when I would tell people what I was interested in, they would give me the “good luck” face quince and question me.
My issue is, I am very sensitive and take everything to heart. I take into consideration what people have to say. I know this is going to be challenging. I have had two teachers say, “So many people switch out of these majors, you should look into something different” and a few classmates that say, “why do you think you can do this?”
I am not looking for the attention here. I am having a crisis within what I want to major in. I have taken physics, and finished with a 94 average. This class was difficult for me, but I accepted the challenge. I am in Calculus this year. What insight can you guys give me? with an SAT score of just under 1100, will I be able to become an engineer?
