If that’s how you feel, take A&M off the list. Are there other schools on your list that you prefer less than UT’s biochem option? If so, I would take them off the list, too. And if biomedical engineering is really what you want to do, then I would find schools that are ABET-accredited for biomedical engineering that you DO like more than UT. You have the stats to get into almost all of them, and most of them will fall into your family’s budget. As far as I know, you will not be able to go into biomedical engineering as a biochem major unless you get a graduate degree in that bioengineering. Is UT worth that to you?
Based on the above it sounds like biomedical engineering is a great fit for you. Why do you want to go to medical school? From feedback I’ve heard from current physicians (and it sounds like @helpingthekid73), being a doctor is not like it “used to be” or is not what people think it is going to be when they enter medical school. Have you been able to shadow doctors and talk to them about the pluses and minuses of the field?
This was your original list of schools and then some of the comments you’ve made since then.
Would you mind creating a current list of where you’re applying (and specify if it’s EA/ED or BS/MD)?
