after considerable thought and research i’m almost positive i’m going to do the bme program jhu. it really depends on your interests. for me it’s a no brainer because i want to study BME and go to medical school someday. hopkins is world-renowned in biomedical engineering and has one of the top pre-med programs and advising in the country. if you want to go into medicine then i’d say go with hopkins for sure. hopkins is also best for research considering something like 80% of undergrads do research, so if research is something you’re interested in then i’d look into hopkins. having access to the med school/hospital at jhu is a dream come true for a pre-med student. the faculty in the bme program at hopkins are the top in the field and are at the forefront of bme research. you also get to participate in design projects as part of the bme curriculum designing medical technologies that have the potential to be patented. apparently people turn down stanford, yale, and mit caliber schools to study bme at jhu. it’s THAT good.
