Top LAC then Post Grad Engineering -OR- Undergrad Eng to an Eng Grad school?

<p>Options:
Challenging and thought provoking LAC then on to Post Grad Eng school w/ negligible Undergrad costs due to generous support, thus saving money for specific BioMedical Engineering Masters and PHD’s </p>

<p>-OR-</p>

<p>Nationally ranked BioMedical Engineering Undergrad program before moving up to a Postgrad BME Masters and PHD’s w/ Undergrad costs about $100k in student/parent loans *Parents are not certain they will qualify.</p>

<p>The intended life path of this student is to complete upper level degrees in BioMedical Engineering…</p>

<p>Please advise regarding getting into a premium BioMedical Engineering grad school (Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt, UW, UCSD, etc) without a career specific undergrad degree. Thanks :)</p>

<p>You may want to check your target PhD programs for what undergraduate prerequisites they require or desire. For example:</p>
