Try googling Emory Engineering Society. You will see the FB page and website put out by previous students involved in the dual degree Ga Tech/Emory program.

GA Tech offers an undergrad degree in biomedical engineering. Emory does not. GA Tech’s program is a joint program with Emory’s medical school. The joint GA Tech/Emory BS/BA program that you’re contemplating is a 5 year program and it allows you to major in something else at Emory while also majoring in biomedical engineering at GA Tech.

Majoring in engineering anywhere is tough because medical schools like high GPAs and those are harder to combine at engineering programs.

That being said, materials sciences and medical devices are big in medicine these days and a biomedical engineering degree gives you a foundation in each.
