I’ve been doing a lot of research on Biomolecular/Biomed Engineer at Tufts, comparing it to the programs at Northwestern. Based on what I found, Tufts has a very strong undergrad and grad BME, but Northwestern is much more well-known in the bio-engineer industry. Also, while Tufts seems to focus more on undergrad and offers a greater variety of classes, Northwestern has a great co-op program.

All my college guide books tell me that Engineering is BIG at Tufts, but Tufts doesn’t come anywhere close to Northwestern in most rankings and is omitted in the US News biomedical engineering ranking.

I am accepted to both of their engineering schools and I would love to go to Tufts, but right now I can’t find any evidence on that Tufts guarantees its undergrad a spot in prominent research institutes/grad schools/bio companies.
