Ive looked into a BA in some type of engineering (biomedical?) but would you say it’s a “waste”?

If you want to become a practicing engineer, then a non-ABET BA in engineering may not cut it. On the other hand, that doesn’t mean that a BA in engineering is a “waste”: the BA could work for a job in an engineering-related field like technical management or finance, especially if paired with a relevant double-major like economics. Double-majoring is typically quite feasible with BA programs.

Dartmouth is the only of these schools that offers even Portuguese.

Middlebury is very strong for languages, and has a Dept. of Spanish & Portuguese with lots of Portuguese and Brazilian offerings. http://www.middlebury.edu/academics/span/courses
