No has mentioned it yet, so I will… Doing a dual major in neuro and engineering will be really hard. I’d advise you to major in one, and just take electives or a minor in the other. The neuro major will be “easier” than the BME major, especially for doing med school prereqs. But the BME degree will be more employable than the neuro degree should you decide against grad/med school.
Similarly, I’m an academic neuroscientist and I see a lot of undergrads who want to do an MD/PhD, but can’t really articulate good reasons why the combo program is better for them than one or the other. The most common reasons they give are that the MD/PhD costs less than an MD, and that they like the prestige factor (hint, neither of those are good reasons). I’d be interested to hear your reasoning, and I’d also be curious to hear why you’re aiming for a dual major. It’s so much more work for both, for already overworked students!
I’m seeing that I commented on your recent post. It looks like your decision to commit to a dual major is a recent one? And your financial situation has changed since then?
You were admitted to CALS Public and Global Health Sciences at Cornell; Neuroscience + CS Dual Degree at CMU; and you don’t mention what major you were admitted to at UNC.
Are you sure you can do neuro and/or BME at each of these schools? You’ll need to check on that very carefully, since that should be a huge factor for you.
