What does it take to be an engineering student?

I’m looking at various schools, and as of about a month ago I was undecided. Now, however, I’ve decided to enter as a biomedical engineering major (possibly studying in econ/biology/computer science as well, and either going Pre-MBA or Pre-Med). Since I am applying to the school of engineering, when I get to college will I be expected to be able to do engineering projects? I come from a small school and a small town so I haven’t had opportunities to pursue rocket building, robotics, or any other engineering associated ECs. I have a 35 composite ACT, received a 780 on the Math 2 SAT Subject test, and am interested in biology as well as medicine, so thats why I chose biomedical engineering. For applying to selective schools, is this a reasonable choice despite my lack of experience, or will experience be an expectation? Ive listened to multiple accepted students who have talked about their experiences in rocket building or programming in their supplementary essays, and obviously I cannot do this, so would applying to the school of engineering be a reasonable choice?
