Although you were not accepted into BME at Hopkins–that is far less momentous then you might think. BME is the only major which requires separate admissions. You can still go to Hopkins and major it, e.g., biomaterials engineering, biomechanics, chemical and bilmolecular engineering, biotechnology, etc. You could also skip engineering altogether and major in biophysics, biology, etc at the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. The bottom line is that you can do almost the same thing outside of BME–and still be in programs that are tops in the world.
