Schools
Most of these schools don’t have BOTH engineering and nursing, and I still am not sure which I want to do more, so just keep that in mind!!
rder lol, I am leaning towards nursing, so for schools that have both I will a
Assured (100% chance of admission and affordability): University of Cincinnati
Extremely Likely: Ohio University, University of Kentucky, Ohio Northern University
It doesn’t appear (to me) that Ohio U, Ohio Northern, or Kentucky are ABET accredited for biomedical engineering. So you might check outcomes to ensure grads can still get jobs.
For flexibility purposes, you might only apply to schools with both - which would eliminate your last two.
UMN, Pitt and U of Rochester might be additional supplements to your list.
The list is great - but if you decide nursing, would you want direct admit?
For the schools in general, I would agree with what you have. CWRU will depend on demonstrated interest - and obviously if you go nursing, it’s tough.
Why would you spend on U Mich when OSU is likely as good. tOSUs average starting for biomedical is $73K whereas U MIchigan is a bit less than $5K more…it’s hardly worth the insane tuition jump to go there. Most companies pay based on the location, not the school attended. In other words, kids working at the same place will likely earn the same from both.
Engineering is the type of thing, if possible, you should start there.
Nursing is another story - I don’t believe MIT or Berkeley have.
So you should find schools with both…until you know what you want to do. And I’d want my BME ABET accredited - but that’s me.
I am pretty sure that MIT does not have nursing as a major.
UC Berkeley is very expensive for an out of state student. While it is a very good university, are you sure that you can afford to spend that much? As a potential nursing student, you do not need to spend that much and you do not want to take on a huge debt (particularly when the debt is unnecessary).
I don’t see much in the way of nursing-related ECs, although I will admit that I have no idea what NSHS is, nor what “link leader” is.
If you do go into nursing, then the ability to speak some Spanish will be quite helpful.
