<p>Hi everyone, if I were to study Biomedical Engineering, which university will be a better choice? In terms of future career prospects, school reputation, etc… Thks!</p>

<p>Will depend on what do you want do after graduation? </p>

<p>Nevermind. Umich is superior in every aspect.</p>

3

<p>Wustl Biomedical eng. is a lot better (one of the top 5-6 in the states)</p>

<p>That’s what I thought. I read somewhere that WUSTL’s biomed engine faculty is good. Do you think employers care about that in the future? Or will they prefer UMich cos it’s a more well-known uni in the states…</p>

<p>I believe he is confuse between these Uni.

<p>College2go, that is an old ranking (Fu foundation appeared twice.)
The USNews 2007 graudate ranking put WUSTL at No. 12, a five slots above the one you just cited. It shows the rapid progress of the program.</p>

<p>But still behind UMich. Biomedical has interaction with different areas i.e. Mechanical, computer, electrical, etc where Michigan excels and WashU sucks.</p>
