The Neuroscience/Biomedical Engineering Double Major

How plausible does this sound? I’d like to enter a neural engineering field in the future. Currently I am a junior in high school, so I have a little time on my hands to think over what colleges I’d like to apply to, etc. Currently, I’m looking at MIT, Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, stuff like that. I read on Duke’s website that I could do 2 majors and 1 minor, so I am also considering this, but I don’t want to take on too much work where I can’t finish everything. I’m inexperienced and I don’t have a lot of knowledge about this process of selecting double majors and a minor, but I am still curious. I don’t necessarily want to enter a medical field, but it is still an option I am considering (neural surgeon, etc). Basically, I have a fascination with how the brain operates, but I also would like to enter an engineering field, so this is where I drew the neural engineering option.
