JHU has the best undergraduate BME program in the world, and its resources in that discipline far exceed those at Duke. Duke is probably a more comprehensive university with more social prestige than Hopkins, but for BMEi ansd medicine, Hopkins reigns.

Uh, JHU may be #1 in BME but Duke is #3-do you really think there’s that much of a difference between the two programs at the undergraduate level? Get real. All of the major biomedical engineering firms recruit at Duke and two of the major ones (Boston Scientific and Medtronic) are led by two Dukies. From your line of thinking, how bad do you think Penn’s BME program is?</p>

Thanks for your answers! Would anyone here know which school would be easiest to maintain a higher GPA?

Duke and Penn both have a lot more grade inflation than JHU.</p>
